Fire Safety

If You Discover a Fire

If the alarm is sounding, leave the building immediately. Never stay or assume it’s a false alarm.
Follow the exit signs and the building evacuation procedure; and follow directions given by your Resident Assistant, Community Leader, or Building Emergency Safety Team.
Stay calm, do not run.
Do not use elevators.
Touch doors and door handles before opening them, if they feel hot do not open them. Never enter a room where there is fire or smoke.
If you encounter smoke, crouch down near the floor as you exit the room or building.
Be vigilant on the way out, your observations could save a life.
Assist those that may be mobility or visually impaired.
If you are the last one out of a room, close the door.
If you are unable to evacuate the building call 9-1-1 or try to alert responders through a window with an object or article of clothing.
Go to the designated assembly area to check-in.
Never re-enter the building until a Public Safety Official gives the All Clear.

Remember, PASS:
