When a fire alarm sounds:

1.    Grab a towel or article of clothing to place over face

2.    Check the room door for heat

3.    Close room windows.

4.    Leave room lights on.

5.    Stay low to the floor and calmly proceed to the nearest exit.

Always take a fire alarm seriously. Safety is dependent upon individual response during drills and/or in the actual event of a fire. Failure to evacuate may result in fees and or disciplinary action.
