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

Fire instructions for SiS housing

In order to ensure fire safety in our homes, it is important that you as a resident familiarize yourself with this description. Failure to react in the event of an alarm/fire, use of non-approved equipment, etc. may result in criminal liability or financial liability. Only approved electrical equipment must be used. See the rules of order and the rental contract for further information.

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

Fire instructions

• In the event of an alarm, an automatic notification is sent to the fire service, which responds immediately.
• Emergency phone number: 110
• Help others - try to extinguish the flames if possible. (Where the alarm has been triggered is shown in the display at the fire control center)
  Close doors and windows.
• Wheelchair users: If no help is available, stay in the room, possibly the balcony, call the fire service on tel. 110 and wait for help.
  Residents gather on the outside of the building, clearly visible without obstructing the fire brigade.
• In the event of a false alarm – wait for instructions to return to the building.

If the alarm is triggered by accident (steam, food, showering etc.):

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

Extinguishing equipment

Get to know where the extinguishing equipment is. This is readily available in all homes. The most common is a powder apparatus, but fire hoses can also occur.

Escape routes

In the event of a fire, it will be of great importance for the evacuation that the residents have familiarized themselves with the current escape routes from the home. The lift must not be used during bans. Escape routes and emergency exits must always be free, in the event of an evacuation. This is an uncompromising demand from the fire service and SiS housing will be able to pursue violations of free escape routes in relation to financial responsibility for damage to property and loss of life and health. (This means that it is not permitted to put down bags, shoes, boxes etc. in corridors and stairwells)

How to avoid alarms in the home

• Never leave the stove when you are cooking.
• It is important that whoever turns on the stove also ensure that the stove is turned off.
• Always use the fan when cooking. When using electronic equipment such as waffle irons, toasters, kettles, rice cookers, etc., always place these under the ventilator.
• Keep ovens and griddles clean. As burnt food residues can trigger the alarm.
• Fire detectors must not be dismantled or covered.

In the event of proven irresponsibility or constant calls from the fire brigade, costs for calls will be charged to the resident according to the current price list.
Our fire alarm systems have been developed to be able to warn of fire in the best possible way and are continuously tested and maintained.

Fire control center

Get to know the control center thoroughly. Feel free to contact SiS housing if you feel that further training is necessary.
The fire control center and the instructions on how the fire control center works can be found at the main entrance to the home. In the event of an alarm, it is shown in the fire control center where there is a fire or where an unwanted alarm has been triggered. This is important to be able to put out fires and not least in relation to evacuation. Remember that the landlord has the master key.

In the event of a false alarm

Have you accidentally triggered the fire alarm?

If so, you have to call 110 before 90 seconds have passed, to stop an emergency response from the fire department.

We are billed 10.000 NOK by the fire department for an unnecessary response. If you don’t call the fire department in time, resulting in a dispatch, you will be billed this amount.

After SiS’ opening hours, please contact Securitas (22 97 10 76) if you are experiencing unsafe episodes in your building. The same goes for vandalism, electrical problems, water leaks, etc.

Remember home content insurance when you move in - you are not insured through SiS. You can check if you are insured through your parents' insurance, an organization you are a member of, or if not buy your own.

Why home content insurance? Should unforeseen events occur, such as a fire, water damage, burglary in your home or shed, this can lead to expenses and losses for you as a resident. You can use content insurance to limit your own financial loss in such cases.
