Fire Alarm Evacuation Procedures

When a fire alarm sounds, everyone must leave the building.

However, if the door IS HOT:

  • Stay in the room.
  • Seal door with a towel.
  • Stay by an open window.
  • Put a towel or blanket outside the window to signal fire department personnel of your location.

If the door IS NOT HOT:

  • Close windows.
  • Open the blinds.
  • Do not touch light switches.
  • Carry a wet towel for heat and smoke protection.
  • Close door/leave unlocked.
  • Proceed to nearest exit.
  • Report to Cosgrave Center for head count.
