Here you will find informational videos about the fire procedures for our student accommodation. We have divided it into three categories:

1. What to do in case of a fire

2. What to do in case of a false alarm

3. How to avoid triggering the smoke detector

To ensure fire safety in our homes, it is important that you as a tenant read this. The lack of response to the alarm/ fire, the use of non-approved equipment, etc. may lead to prosecution or incur financial liability. It is not allowed to have your own stove in your apartment and you should only use approved electrical equipment. See house rules and lease for further information.

It is very important that you avoid constant unwanted alarms, as this contributes to a lack of reaction in the event of a real fire.

Fire instructions

• If the alarm goes off, an automatic notification will be sent to the fire department, who are immediately called out. Emergency fire phone 110
• Help others- try to extinguish the fire if possible.
• Close doors and windows
• Wheelchair access: If help is not provided, stay in the room or balcony or at the balcony and call the fire department 110 and wait for help.
• Residents should gather on the outside of the building, clearly visible without being an obstacle to the fire department.
• If false alarm - wait for permission to return to the building.

If the alarm is triggered accidentally: (vapors, fumes, showering, cigarette smoke, etc.)

• Call the fire department - phone 110 - report the false alarm, even if they are already on their way.
• Silence the alarm on the fire control panel (see instructions at the main entrance)
• Meet the fire department.

Extinguishing equipment

Familiarize yourself with the equipment available. These are available in all homes. The most common are dry chemicals but fire hoses can also occur.

Escape routes

If there is a fire, it will be of great importance for the evacuation that residents have made themselves familiar with the current evacuation routes. The lift should not be used. Escape routes and emergency exits must always be free, in case of evacuation. This is a demand from the fire service. SiS housing can make the tenants financially liable for damage to property and loss of lives and health. (This means that it is not allowed and leave their bags, shoes, boxes, etc. in corridors and stairwells).

How to avoid alarms in the home

• Fire prevention is very important to avoid constant false alarms, as this contributes to a lack of response in case of a real fire.
• Never leave the stove when you are cooking. It is important that the person who switches on the stove also ensures that it is switched off.
• Always use the hood when cooking also when using electronics such as waffle iron, toaster, kettle, rice cooker, etc.
• Keep stoves and griddles clean. When burnt food particles can trigger the alarm.
• Fire detectors must not be removed or covered.

Tenants can be charged if it is proved that they trigger the alarm on purpose. Our fire alarm system is designed in the best possible way to warn of a fire. And being continually tested and maintained.

Fire Central

Get to know the fire alarm system and contact SiS housing if you feel it is necessary for further training.

Fire control panel with instructions on how the fire control panel works can be found at the main entrance to the residence. The alarm is displayed in the fire control panel where there is a fire or where an unwanted alarm is triggered. This is important in order to extinguish the fire, and particularly in relation to evacuation. Remember that the landlord has the primary key.

The false alarm: Remember to notify the fire department as soon as possible

We thank you for taking the time to read this carefully and hope you contact us if anything is unclear.
