YOUR ROLE ::

::

On the Fire Floor:

  • Although our building systems will detect a fire and activate the alarm, if you discover a fire, first call 911 then Security at 206.224.1203. If the fire is small enough and you have been trained, extinguish the fire with a fire extinguisher.

  • Designate Search Monitors (assistants) to help you in an emergency. Locate Search Monitors at each stairwell to promote safe evacuation of personnel into stairwells.

  • Check offices, rest rooms and conference rooms after evacuation to ensure no one is left behind. Close all doors behind you.

  • Provide necessary assistance during the evacuation. If needed, use the intercom in the stairwell and Property Management or Seattle Fire Department personnel will assist you.

  • When all assigned duties have been completed, proceed four floors down or as directed by the Seattle Fire Department or Property Management.

    On the Receiving Floor or Safe Refuge Area:

  • During a partial building evacuation, the "Safe Refuge Area" is the building elevator lobby, located four floors down from the fire floor.

  • Guide evacuees onto the Safe Refuge Area floor and direct them to wait in the elevator lobby until an announcement is made to return to your floor.

  • Follow your company's procedure for roll call, etc. before returning to your floor.

  • All tenants should familiarize themselves with guidelines recommended by the Seattle Fire Department.

    Allow the Building Management to:

  • Investigate the alarm location prior to arrival of the Seattle Fire Department.

  • Escort the Seattle Fire Department to the alarm location and assist in the investigation.

  • In the event of an actual fire, the Seattle Fire Department will assume control of the incident and direct tenants and management accordingly.

  • Reset the fire alarm system and make a building-wide announcement after the "All Clear" has been given by the Seattle Fire Department.
