EVACUATION PROCEDURE IN THE EVENT OF FIRE

In case of a fire everyone must exit the building down the stairs.

DO NOT TAKE THE ELEVATOR. The elevators will automatically be locked and recalled to the first floor for your safety.

Please follow the EXIT signs posted throughout the floor and evacuate through the nearest exit. There are two stairs, go to the nearest one. There are two areas where you can meet: across the street or in our parking lot as far as possible from the building.

The smoke doors will close automatically as the fire alarm sound goes off.

There is an Exit sign posted above the smoke doors which means you can go through that door, if is close to your unit.

The purpose of these doors is so the fire and the smoke wouldn’t extend to the other side of the hallway. For example: if a fire originates in the laundry room, do not open that door, exit through the center stairs.

There are stairs at the east end and west end of the buildings and on the second floor of each center stairs, those doors have an alarm, and they can Only be use in the event of fire.

NOTE: Per Miami-Dade Fire recommendation- if your unit alarm is activated due to smoke when cooking, please do not open the unit door for ventilation; smoke coming from your unit may activate the alarm for the entire building. Open your windows instead. This will prevent the Association to get a False Alarm violation, and consequently, prevent that the unit owner

be fined as well. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask our office for further clarification. Thank you for your cooperation on this important safety matter.
