In the event
of a fire or fire alarm

  • Close the door to the room where the fire is started.
  • Assist the disabled.
  • Walk, don't run.
  • Do not use elevators.
  • If you encounter heavy smoke, choose another route.
  • If all routes are blocked by smoke or fire, enter a room with a corridor access door, a phone, and a window. Close the door, call 911.

    However--

    If the fire is small (4' X 2' in size) one occupant can choose to extinguish the fire with a fire extinguisher while another occupant activates a fire alarm or calls 911 from a phone away from the fire (if manual pull station fire alarm is unavailable).

    If you are the only occupant and you choose to extinguish the fire, call 911 first.

    If in doubt about whether to extinguish the fire, exit immediately and close the door to slow the spread of flames, smoke, and toxic gases. Call 911 from a safe place.

    You are required by law to exit the building immediately.
