Treat all alarms like a real emergency. Do not assume it is a false alarm!
  • Follow emergency personnel directions.
  • Walk - don't run - to the nearest exit. Alarm may not sound continuously. If alarm stops, continue to evacuate.
  • Use stairways for exit - do not use elevators. Do not push or crowd. Use handrails in stairwells and stay to the right.
  • If able, assist persons with disabilities.
  • Feel doors top and bottom for heat using the back of your hand. If hot, do not open. If not hot, open door slowly, and stand behind and to one side. Be prepared to close quickly if fire is present.
  • Notify emergency personnel if you suspect someone may be trapped in a building
  • Proceed to evacuation assembly area.
