Fire Safety Tips
If a fire is small (waste-basket size) and can be safely extinguished,
use an extinguisher to do so after activating the fire alarm and
notifying Security.
During evacuation, walk, do not run. Keep noise to a minimum.
Close, but do not lock doors to help contain fire and smoke. Do
not use elevators. On stairways, use handrails and stay to the right.
Following evacuation, relocate to a safe assembly area and do not
re-enter the building until notified that it is safe to do so.
If you suspect fire in the building, test doors before you open them. Use
the back of your hand to feel the door or doorknob. If either is hot, use
another escape route.
If you hear a fire alarm, evacuate, call Security to report the
alarm, and do not re-enter the building until told it is safe
to do so.
Be prepared. Know the location of the
two exits closest to your area and all potential evacuation routes out
of the building. Know the location of the nearest fire alarm and how to
use it. Keep all corridors free of flammable materials to prevent rapid
fire spread. Never prop open a hallway door, or lock a door that
is a fire exit. If you become aware of fire safety equipment that has been
vandalized or tampered with, report it to Security.
False alarms cause major problems and risk the safety of building occupants.
If you become aware of someone starting a fire or taking part in a false
alarm, please notify Security immediately.
