HOW TO REPORT A FIRE
1. If a burning odor or smoke is detected, call 9-1-1. If fire is present, pull a fire alarm to evacuate the building. Report the location of the fire and, if known, what is burning. Note: pulling the fire alarm may not automatically notify the fire department.

2. If you can help control the fire without personal danger, take action with available fire fighting equipment. If not, leave the area.

3. Never allow the fire to come between you and an exit.

4. Evacuate all persons from the danger area. Close doors behind you to confine the fire.

RESPONSE TO AUDIBLE FIRE ALARMS
1. If the audible horn alarm sounds for more than 30 seconds or sounds for a second time, evacuate the building.

2. Do not use the elevators.

3. If requested, accompany and assist persons with disabilities who appear to need direction or assistance.

4. Leave all parcels and personal property inside.

5. Remain approximately 100 feet from the exits to help facilitate clear access to the building for the Fire Department.

6. Return to the building only when instructed to do so by Police or Fire officials.
