Fire
The 24-hour Lobby Attendant at CENTER WEST is supported by an advanced life-safety and monitoring system at the security console, which also houses the fire alarm system, in the main lobby. The Building is fully sprinklered, and it is equipped with a 12-ton-capacity rooftop helipad.

IF YOU DISCOVER A FIRE,
you should remain calm and…

  • Pull the nearest fire alarm. Alarms are located in the corridors adjacent to the stairwells
  • Call 911 from a safe location.
  • Evacuate or relocate and assist all others in the immediate area.
  • Close doors behind you to isolate fire.
  • Proceed to stairwells and listen for instructions. NEVER use the elevators.
  • Be cautious when opening doors to avoid spreading the fire. Touch any door before opening it to determine whether it is hot before opening.
  • If smoke is present, stay low and crawl with your body against the floor. The clearest air is near the floor. If forced to make a dash through smoke or flame, hold your breath and cover your nose and mouth with an article of clothing.

FIRE PREVENTION

  • Do not accumulate quantities of discarded files or other paper trash in your office or storage area.
  • Pay special attention to housekeeping in those areas that produce quantities of debris, such as copy and mail rooms.
  • Do not store large quantities of solvents, duplicating fluids, or other combustible fluids.
  • Keep electrical appliances in good repair.
  • Where potential for fire is especially high, such as supply rooms, Tenants may wish to consider installing additional fire extinguishers.
