Explain: "This is the Esplanade I, *YOUR BUILDING AND ROAD*, (state floor number)."

If instructed by the Fire Department, Building Management, or by using your best judgement, evacuate all people from your company VIA THE EXIT AS ASSIGNED DO NOT USE THE ELEVATORS!!
In the event of an alarm, only three (3) floors are alerted, the floor the alarm is activated on, and the floors directly above and directly below the alarm. Only these three floors will hear the alarm and receive the computerized voice message broadcasting via the building intercom system to evacuate. If an alarm should sound on your floor, do not call the Management Office for verification or instructions. Please evacuate the floor immediately.
Most fires will be confined to the room of origin if the doors are closed. Close the door(s) to the area once everyone is evacuated.
If you see an unconfined fire of any size, immediately alert the people in your area and leave your floor. Fire alarm pull station boxes and fire extinguishers are located next to the stairwell doors. The pull station boxes are red and the fire extinguisher boxes are white. When activated, the alarm box will set the alarm off in the building and immediately notify the Fire Department. Upon activating the alarm, leave the building.
*Labels bearing emergency numbers are provided for safety and convenience through the Downers Grove Fire Department. Our office can provide you with labels.
