[6555-penn] Friendly Reminder - Fire Alarm

[Melinda Elbel]

To All:

When the Fire Alarm sounds, act immediately to ensure your safety. The Fire Alarm System is designed and engineered to provide you with an early warning to allow you to safely exit the building during an emergency situation.


*         Never ignore or assume the alarm is false or the result of a test.

*         Everyone must evacuate the building by way of the safest and closest exit and/or stairway.

*         Once outside the building, move away from the building.

*         The front of the building is where the fire fighters and fire trucks will be operating. Do not obstruct their access to the building.

*         If there is an incident occurring on the upper floors and glass is being blown out of the windows, the area below is the hazard zone where serious personal injuries will happen. Do not remain in or near the hazard zone.

*         Once outside, never re-enter the building until you are told to do so by the fire department or police.

Thank you,
