EMERGENCY PRIORITIES

1. If You See Smoke, Or Flames, Or Smell Something Burning, or if the evidence of a fire is reported to you, IMMEDIATELY:
   • Isolate the fire - (close the door if you can do so safely.)
   • Call the Fire Department, Property Management, and Activate the Fire Alarm Pull Station, if the Alarm is not sounding.
   • Evacuate - Using Exit / Stairs to the covered parking garage directly outside and behind the building. Relocation and reentry into the building at least three (3) or more levels below the fire floor is generally adequate.
2. In the event of an alarm only:
   • Call the Fire Department and the Property Management.
   • Minimum procedure: Prepare to evacuate by going to the Exit / Stair Door. If there is any evidence of fire, evacuate the floor to the covered parking garage directly outside and behind the building. Report any change in conditions to the Fire Department and Property Management.
3. Property Management
   • Call the Fire Department, and have someone meet the Fire Department upon their arrival. Any fire shall be reported to the Fire Department, no matter how small, even if extinguished.
   • Recall all elevators that access the floor of incident by turning the Elevator Fire Service Recall Switch to the “ON” position.

MOBILITY IMPAIRED

Persons having any mobility impairment need to be considered prior to any need for evacuation. It is necessary for Tenants and/or mobility impaired person(s) to notify Property Management office of any Mobility-Impaired occupants that wish to have special assistance in the event of an evacuation. A list should be maintained and updated as necessary.

Mobility-Impaired occupants may require special assistance in the event of an evacuation. Occupants not requiring assistance should evacuate first. This avoids the possibility of person(s) in need of assistance being bumped and/or falling down, thus slowing evacuation and/or causing injury. If there is any evidence of fire, person(s) having mobility impairment should be positioned near the Exit / Stair Door that is located farthest away from the fire. If fire conditions pose a personal threat, they should enter into the Exit / Stairs and wait for the Fire Department.

If fire conditions pose a personal threat in the Exit / Stairs, the mobility-impaired person(s) should be evacuated to a safe location. Occupants exiting should have someone notify the fire department of the location of all mobility-impaired occupants that required special assistance in evacuating.
