Fire Alarm Procedures for Owners/Managers
Emergency procedures to be used in case of fire include:

 Ensure that the fire alarm/evacuation notification procedure has been activated.
 Notify the fire department of the emergency conditions; dial 911 and ask for the fire department. Never assume this has already been done.
 Supervise the evacuation of the occupants. Emergency voice communication systems should be used where available.
 Upon arrival of fire fighters, inform the officer regarding conditions in the building and co-ordinate the efforts of supervisory staff with those of the fire department.
 Provide access and vital information to the fire department, (ie: master keys for suites, service rooms, elevators, etc.). Provide a name list of the occupants. When so informed, record and provide a current list of the locations of handicapped/special need persons to the fire department.
 Ensure that the fire alarm system/evacuation procedure is not silenced/stopped until the fire department has responded and the cause of the fire has been investigated.
 confining controlling and extinguishing the fire if trained to do so. (portable extinguishers)
