General Guidelines for Fire Prevention

The best way to reduce loss of life and property due to fire is prevention.  It is the responsibility of all tenants and employees to protect other persons and their property.

The following fire practices should be followed at all times:

Obey “NO SMOKING” signs.

Place Matches, cigarettes and other smoking materials only in ashtrays or receptacles designed to receive these materials.  Never put smoking materials into a wastepaper basket.

Never place wastepaper or other non-smoking materials into an ash tray.

Protect electrical wiring from abuse.

Turn off all electrical appliances at the end of the day.

Do not “force” office machinery that is not working properly.

All combustible or flammable liquids should be stored in approved cabinets and containers.

Exits and passageways should be kept clear at all times.

Good housekeeping must be maintained in each area of the building.

Notify your supervisor or property management of any fire safety hazards existing in the building.

Portable space heaters are discouraged due to potential electrical overloading and the fire hazard these units present.
