Steps
-
Activate fire alarm
Pull the nearest pull station. If alarm is already sounding, proceed to step 2. Do not attempt to fight a fire larger than a wastebasket without training and approved equipment.
-
Evacuate via posted route
Use the nearest safe exit. Don't use elevators. Close doors behind you to slow fire spread. Help mobility-impaired colleagues to area of refuge if cannot use stairs.
-
Floor wardens sweep their zones
Trained wardens check restrooms, conference rooms, and quiet areas to ensure full evacuation. Wardens are the LAST out of their zone.
-
Assemble at designated point
Move 100+ ft from the building or across the street. Do not block fire department access. Stay together by team / department.
-
Headcount accountability
Floor wardens take headcount and report missing persons to the incident commander or building manager. Do not re-enter to look — that's the fire department's job.
-
Re-entry only on authorization
Wait for the fire department's all-clear before anyone re-enters. Building manager confirms via official communication.
