2. ASSESS: Where is the fire? Is it small and contained? Yes → attempt to extinguish with appropriate extinguisher. No → go to step 3.
3. EVACUATE: Take slip leads from drawer. Lead dogs one at a time to the assembly point (front garden, by the gate). Count dogs on exit.
4. CALL 999: State address, nature of fire, number of dogs evacuated, number of people on site. Do not hang up until told.
5. DO NOT RE-ENTER until fire service says safe.
6. WHEN SAFE: Count dogs. Check for smoke inhalation. Contact vet if any dog shows signs. Contact all owners. Document the incident in the IRF (Incident Report Form).
