Fire Emergency Procedures

The following is a written procedure, which should be followed in the event of an emergency.

  1. When the fire alarm sounds, immediately leave your office by following the fire exit signs.  Whenever possible, be sure your suite entry door is locked when you leave your suite.
  2. Upon entering the common corridors or elevator lobbies within the building, the stairwells should be used for egress.  Each stairwell is clearly marked with an exit sign in the corridor.  Please familiarize yourself with the nearest stairwell to your office.  ELEVATORS SHOULD NEVER BE USED DURING A FIRE ALARM.
  3. Upon entering the stairwell, proceed to the ground floor.  The ground floor stairwell door is marked with an exit sign to direct you outside of the building.  Proceed to the far end of the surface parking lot to prevent interference with the fire department or emergency response team.  This is also good practice to follow for your own personal safety.
  4. Do not enter the building or return to your suite until the fire department provides this authorization.  Silencing of the fire alarm is not an indication that the situation or condition has been cleared.


In addition to the above, we would also like to suggest that each suite have a “Safety Warden” (See Exhibit G) and an emergency evacuation procedure for any handicap persons that may require assistance.  Remember, during a fire alarm all elevators are automatically recalled to the first floor for safety reasons.  Evacuation must be completed by using the stairwells.

It is not necessary to telephone the building management office to determine if the alarm is false.  All fire alarms are regarded as an actual emergency condition until the fire department notifies us otherwise.
