Fire Evacuation Plan

IF YOU SEE FIRE, SMOKE OR SMELL SOMETHING BURNING

• Immediately call the Fire Department at 911 and/or activate the fire alarm pull station.
• Call Property Management at 502.585.4200.
• Isolate the fire, if possible, by closing the door.
• Contact the fire warden(s) on the floor with the fire and give the location and severity of the fire.
• If directed to evacuate by the fire department or the Property Management Office, or if unsafe conditions warrant leaving the floor, evacuate DOWN to the next re-entry floor by using the fire exit stairs... never use the elevator!

IF YOU THINK YOU SMELL SMOKE

• Immediately call Property Management at 502.585.4200.
• Contact the fire warden(s) on the floor with the odor and give the location and characteristic of the odor.

IF YOU HEAR THE FIRE ALARM

• Stay calm.
• Follow instructions given by Floor Warden and/or the Fire Department.
• Close doors behind you but do not lock them. Feel doors before opening and do not open any that are hot. Do not return to area for papers or personal articles.
• When instructed, evacuate as directed via building fire stairs. If you are disabled, await help in the stairwell.
• Do not use elevators. If you are in an elevator when the alarm sounds, do not push the emergency stop button. The elevator will automatically return to its base level and open.
• If smoke is present, stay low. The best air is near the floor. If you are outside the building during a fire, stay far enough away to avoid possible falling glass.
