Every Fire Alarm is Important

If the alarm sounds, or a fire is suspected, call the Fire Department immediately. After calling the Fire Department, if you determine that there is no fire, but rather a malfunction of your equipment or a false alarm, call 911 and relay this information. Never wait to investigate the situation before notifying the Fire Department. Any delay will allow a fire to grow and further endanger the building occupants and property.

Fire Fact: Every year there are approximately 6,000 office fires in the United States.

Three Fire Safety Tips

Remember - 911
It's important for employees calling 911 to be able to give the following information: nature of the problem, location, address, nearest cross street, any specifics known. The caller should not hang up until told to do so by the emergency operator.

Test your fire alarms on a regular basis
Sometimes the first warning of a fire comes from a fire alarm. Depending upon your fire safety system, the system may handle almost everything for you, but make sure it's working.

Fire extinguishers
Fire Code requirements specify the size, number and location of fire extinguishers within your facility. These requirements help establish a protection level appropriate for the hazard class of your building. Make sure you know the types, sizes and maintenance requirements of your extinguishers, as well as the basics of extinguisher operation.
