Fire Emergencies

If you discover a fire or fire-related emergency such as abnormal heating of material, hazardous gas leaks, hazardous material or flammable liquid spill, smoke, or odor of burning, immediately follow these procedures:

1.	Activate the building fire alarm system (fire pull station). If not available or operational, verbally notify persons in the building.
2.	Call 911 (9-911 from within PRIME Lab)
3.	Isolate the area and evacuate the building:
		Close doors if possible to keep others out of the area.
		Use a fire extinguisher to evacuate yourself and others, or to extinguish a small fire (fire extinguisher training is not required to use one).
4.	If fire alarms are ringing in your building follow the building emergency plan.
