Calling the emergency services is important, but it is not specifically mentioned as part of Stage 1 in this question.

The next step is to contain the fire by closing doors or using fire extinguishers, if safe to do so. Finally, efforts should be made to extinguish the fire using appropriate methods.

    A. Railway Car Park

    The Railway Car Park and the Village Green are both considered safe assembly areas in the event of a total evacuation. These locations are likely to be open spaces that can accommodate a large number of people and provide a safe distance from any potential hazards.
