SECURITY, SAFETY SERVICES

Fire Safety
Plan your Escape
Pre-Plan your Escape Route

• As soon as you check in, begin to plan your escape in case of fire. When you arrive at your room,
take a few moments to locate escape routes.
• Walk down the corridor and find the nearest and alternate exits or exit stairways.
• Count the doorways, turns in corridors and any other features between your room and the exits.
• Find the nearest fire alarm. Most frequently it will be located near the exit or stairwell door. Read
the instructions on how to use it.
• Review the Fire Emergency instructions posted on the inside of your suite or bedroom door.
• If you have a physical condition that might impair your ability to either detect an alarm or
evacuate via the staircase please notify the Front Desk.

If a Fire Begins in your Room

• Leave your room and close the door behind you to keep smoke and flames out of the corridor.
Sound the fire alarm and leave the building via the nearest exit. Do Not Use The Elevators.

If you Hear the Fire Alarm

The fire alarm stages are as follows:
• If you hear an intermittent signal, stand by and prepare to leave the building.
• If you hear a continuous signal, leave the building by the nearest exit. Take your room keycard and
close your room door.
• Go to the door of your room. (If you are in bed and there is any evidence of smoke in the room,
roll out of bed and crawl to the door. Do Not Stand! Smoke and deadly gases may rise).
• Feel the door with the palm of your hand. If the door or the knob is hot, leave it shut (see section
dealing with securing your suite against smoke and gases). If the door is not hot, open it slowly,
but be ready to close it immediately if necessary.
• Check the hallway. If you can leave safely, take your room keycard with you, close the door behind
you and proceed to the nearest exit.
• If the nearest exit or stairway is blocked by smoke or fire, use the alternate route if one is clear (If
it is blocked by smoke or fire, return to your room and close the door). Proceed with care down to
ground level. Hold onto the handrail for stability while descending the stairs.

What to do if the Room Door is Hot or the Hall is Dense with Smoke

It may be safer to stay in your room. Here are some of the things you should do:
• Let someone know you are in the room. If the phone works, phone the switchboard.
• Soak towels and sheets to put around doors and cracks if smoke seeps in. Fill the bath tub with
water. Use the ice bucket to re-wet towels or door as necessary.

What you can do to Prevent Hotel Fires

Many hotel fires are caused by the careless disposal of smoking materials and by smoking in bed.
Before leaving your room or retiring, check sofas and chairs for smouldering butts and make sure
all butts in ashtrays are completely extinguished. Never empty ashtrays into waste baskets. Never
smoke in bed. Do not use electrical appliances for cooking or other purposes that are not provided
with the room.
