When our fire alarm sounds, it is important to act immediately to ensure your safety. The fire alarm system is designed to provide you with an early warning to allow you to safely exit a building during an emergency. Below are some helpful evacuation tips:
- Never ignore the alarm, assume it is false, or that it is just a test.
- Everyone should evacuate our buildings by way of the safest and closest exit and/or stairway.
- If a co-worker needs mobility assistance and you cannot provide it, call out to others for help.
- Never use an elevator to exit a building during a fire alarm activation.
- Once outside, move away from your building and assemble across the street if possible.
- Do not obstruct emergency vehicle access.
- After a building evacuation, never re-enter until you are told that it is okay to do so by Police or Fire Department personnel.
