Fire Safety

Locate Two Exits
Count the doorways and note other features between your room and the exits. Make sure the exits are unlocked and unobstructed.

Locate Fire Alarms Nearest Your Room
Be sure you know how to activate the alarm as it may be dark or full of smoke.

Room Key is an Important Survival Factor
Always place the room key close to where you sleep or where it could easily be found in the dark. You’ll need the key to get back into your room should smoke or fire block your exit route.

In Case of Fire, Act Quickly
If the fire is in the room. Get out and close the door. Once out, report the fire to front desk and activate the fire alarm.

If the Fire is Not in your Room, Leave if you Can
Feel the door and door knob to see if it is cool enough to open, open it slowly and proceed to the nearest emergency exit.

If the Room Door is Hot Do NOT Open it
That means that the Fire is close by. That would mean your room is likely the safest place to be. Dial 911 and report the emergency, also dial 0 to report the fire to the front desk. Turn off bathroom fan, air conditioner or heater fans, hang a sheet in the window to signal your location. Note window latches and how they open. Wet towels, and then use them to seal around the door.

Crawl Low in Smoke
Smoke rises, the freshest air will be low and next to the floor. Place a wet towel over your mouth and nose. Stay close to the wall as you progress to the emergency exit. Should you encounter heavy smoke or fire descending the stairway find another exit or go back to your room.
