Emergency Procedures: Evacuation
Fire alarms are designed to sound on the floor where activated. They also sound an alarm in our Fire
Control Room alerting the Fire Department and lobby security guard station. When you hear an alarm,
proceed to the nearest stairwell closing all doors behind you. Feel the stairwell door for heat. If it is not hot,
open the door and begin to evacuate five (5) floors down using safe stairwell procedures (stay on the inside
handrail at all times) and re-enter at the Safe Refuge area. (Floor 7 and below will exit the building). If there
are adverse conditions, please use the alternate stairwell. Floor wardens will meet you at the safe refuge
area and take a head count and wait for further instructions. If you are instructed to relocate to the roof,
please be sure to check if the stairwell is designated as having roof access.
Safe Refuge Areas
Safe Refuge Areas inside or outside of the building provide a limit of protection. Safe refuge Areas within
the building are any floors five or more above and five or more below the fire floor. For Safe Refuge Areas
outside the building, evacuate the building and stay clear of all emergency vehicles. Please designate a
meeting place with your employees far away from the building.
If you see smoke or fire:
Notify the Los Angeles Fire Department at 911 or 1-800-688-8000.1.
Leave the area, closing all doors behind you. Activate the nearest Pull Station.2.
Go to the nearest stairwell, check the door for heat, if it is not hot enter the stairwell and evacuate five
floors down and re-enter onto that floor. Wait for instructions.

Emergency Exits
The building has two stairwells - #1 and #2. Stairwell doors are normally locked. Upon activation of any
alarm, doors will automatically unlock to allow occupants to relocate within the building.
