Whenyouhearthefirealarm
1. Leave at once, taking direction from the emergency warden.
2. Do not delay yourself by gathering personal items. Your
safety always comes first.
3. Before you open any door, feel the door with the back of
your hand. If the door is cold, slowly open it a crack.
4. If there is no smoke in hallways or stairwells, follow your
buildings evacuation plan. Get out quickly using designated
fire exits.
5. Close doors behind you, however do NOT lock the door.
Locking the door hinders the fire departments search and
rescue efforts.

never use elevators under any circumstances.

of the building. Never go up.
