-
Remain in your unit unless the fire is taking place there.
-
Call 911 and report the fire/emergency. Do not call the front desk - you will waste valuable time and tie up phone lines.
-
Tune into the LPP Lobby Channel (950) for updated details. In the event of a power outage, the LPP Safety Director will ask responding emergency personnel to circulate updated details and information as quickly as possible.
-
Stay put unless emergency personnel direct otherwise. If you are told to leave, do so immediately! Do not try and rescue valuables -- they are meaningless if you fail to escape.
-
Listen for instructions given by emergency personnel.
-
While in your unit, stay calm. Keep all doors closed and stuff wet rags or towels in the cracks of the doors. Wait by a window and if possible, open it and let fresh air in - close the window immediately if smoke starts to come into your unit.
-
Remain calm.
If you must leave your unit:
-
Test doors before opening them - stay low and with the back of your hand, test the knob and door frame. If these areas are cool, brace your shoulder against the door and open it carefully. Be prepared to slam it shut if heat or smoke rush in.
-
Determine a safe exit (see floor map above), and crawl low to the floor and under the smoke. Stay clear and out of the way of emergency personnel. The LPP Safety Director will notify emergency personnel of occupants requiring special assistance for evacuating the building. These occupants will be identified using the LPP Resident Information Sheets.
-
DO NOT USE THE ELEVATORS! Go to the nearest stairwell that is free of smoke and fire.
-
Once outside, inform emergency personnel of anyone that may have been left behind or may need special assistance.
-
Do not return to the building until emergency personnel have determined it safe to do so.
