Fire Safety

Fire icon

If you should see smoke or flames at any time (or receive a report of it from a patron or coworker), pull the nearest fire alarm!

Evacuation

A pulled fire alarm automatically initiates an evacuation.

In any emergency requiring a pulled fire alarm and evacuation:

1) Immediately leave the building, exiting through the nearest safest exit. DO NOT USE THE ELEVATOR!

2) Library staff should congregate at the location designated in front of residential quad fire pit. 

3) Maintain a distance of at least 100 feet from the building and do not reenter until authorized to do so by fire safety officials.

4) Library staff will conduct a head count to determine whether all known occupants of the building have evacuated.
