IF YOU ARE TRAPPED BY FIRE
If you are trapped, it is vital that you remain calm so you can think clearly and take the correct action. In smoke filled areas, crawl near the floor. Do not walk, cleaner air is closest to the floor.
Put closed doors between you and smoke and heat. Seal off cracks around doors and vents. If possible, use wet towels.
Make sure the Fire Department knows your exact location. Even if the Fire Department is at the building, call 911 to alert them of your location; then, call the Management Office at (630) 963-0700 and inform them of the same.
Each Tenant should appoint one employee for each of the following positions:
- Suite Captain
- Assistant Suite Captain
- Searcher
- Stairwell Monitor
Multi floor tenants should appoint employees for each floor.
FIRE SAFETY EQUIPMENT
The building has a complete stand pipe system running from the base floor throughout the building. The stand pipe system provides immediate access to the fire hose hook up of the Downers Grove Fire Department.
In addition to the stand pipe system, the building contains ABC fire extinguishers. They are located next to the stairwells.
In addition, every suite has a minimum of one (1) fire extinguisher. This extinguisher should be visible and easily accessible to all employees. Fire extinguishers are maintained by the Building Management and are included in your operating expense stop. Each floor is protected through the use of a heat sensor, which is connected to the building fire alarm panel. The fire alarm panel activates the strobes and horns to sound if a heat sensor or pull box is activated. Pull boxes are located adjacent to the stairwells on every floor. The fire alarm panel sends a direct signal to the central monitoring station at the Downers Grove Fire Department.
