Fire Alarm System
Upon entering your guest room, take a moment to read the fire evacuation plan located on the back of your guest room door. The fire evacuation plan outlines the emergency evacuation routes based on your guest room’s location, excluding the elevators. Please note that during a fire evacuation/emergency you should not use the elevators.
If you detect evidence of fire or any other emergency condition, dial 9911 and call the Front Desk (extension 0 , x65474 or x79050).
The fire alarm is a zone alarm. For example, if the alarm is activated on the sixth floor, the alarm will also sound on the floor below and the floor above. In this case, the alarm would be sounding on the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors. If you are located on the third floor, you might hear the alarm as it travels/echoes through the stairwells and ventilation system. In any case, if you hear the alarm, you must evacuate the building by using the stairwells and proceed across the street to a safe location. As other fire/smoke sensors are activated, the alarm will also sound on these affected floors.
The entire building is equipped with a sprinkler system.
If the Fire Department determines to evacuate the entire building, they will sound the alarm throughout the building. If you hear the fire alarm, please evacuate the building until the Fire Department determines it's safe to re-enter.
