Fire and Fire Prevention
If You Smell Smoke:
If you can safely do so, contact Property Management. Report the location from where the odor
seems to be coming (i.e., floor and suite number) and alert your Floor Warden.
Keep personnel away from any area that is emitting a smoke odor.
Be prepared to follow the instruction of your assigned Floor Warden.
If You See a Fire
Pull the nearest alarm station. Pull stations are located at all stairwell entries.
Close the door. Confine the fire.
If you can safely do so, contact Property Management and briefly state the nature and location of the fire.
Alert your Floor Warden.
Tenant Floor Wardens have been trained in emergency procedures. Follow his or her evacuation instructions using stairwells.
Never use the elevator in a fire emergency.
Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers are located near stairwell doors and in the restroom corridors. Do not use water on electrical fires and do not endanger yourself or others. The Fire Department will be on the scene within minutes.
All fires, no matter how small or quickly extinguished, must be reported to Property Management.
FIRE PREVENTION
Important Reminders
Of course, the best method of handling an emergency is to prevent the situation from arising or by following sound safety procedures.
Below is a list of some precautionary steps we suggest you follow:
Flammable materials are not permitted. If, for any reason, you have any materials necessary for the operation of normal office equipment, which require special care, they must be stored in safety containers and Property Management must be notified.
Use of extension cords in lieu of permanent wiring is
never recommended. If used, extension cords should be sized and grounded according to the load.
Appliance connections and cords should be kept in good repair.
Smoking is strictly prohibited.
Your office’s wiring was designed to carry a normal electrical load. Appliances, which have greater than normal electrical requirements, should not be used without the consent of Management Building.
Anyone spotting potential fire hazards in the building is asked to report these conditions to Property Management immediately.
