Wedgewoods Fire Alarm and Evacuation Procedures
Wedgewoods Fire Alarm and Evacuation Procedures
EVACUATION VIA STAIRWELL EXITS
If there is a building fire alarm you are required by fire regulations to evacuate the building. Grab your keys and get out. The best way to get out of the building is through the stairwell nearest to you, or the front door if it is nearer to you than the stairwell. The stairwells are designed and intended to provide a safe evacuation route to the outside of the building. At the bottom of the stairwell you should use the exit door (they all have an audible alarm) to get outside the building. From there you can walk away from the building.
DO NOT USE THE ELEVATORS DURING A FIRE OR FIRE ALARM. If you are in danger or can not evacuate yourself, or you are aware of someone who can not or will not evacuate, call 911 and advise the dispatchers of the situation. If there is a fire alarm you must evacuate the building and wait for further instructions from the fire department before re-entering.
NEVER PROP OPEN ANY FIRE DOOR. The fire doors are intended to be normally closed. Also, before opening any door, check to make sure there is no smoke or fire on the other side of the door. All fire doors have windows so you can look and see if there is any fire danger on the other side of the door.
FIRE EXTINGUISHERS AND ALARMS
If you are personally aware of a fire and you are evacuating the building, please note that there are fire alarm pull handles and fire extinguishers near the hallway exit to every stairwell. If possible you could use the fire extinguisher to try to put out the fire yourself. If the fire alarm is not already sounding, you should pull the fire alarm handle to alert everyone else in the building so they can evacuate. It is safest to evacuate the building and let the fire department handle the fire.
PETS
If you have pets in your unit try to take them with you when you evacuate. If you can’t find or catch your pet then you must evacuate anyway. Once you’re outside you could advise the fire department that your pet is still in your unit. The fire department’s priorities are to evacuate and rescue people, get the fire under control, and then rescue pets if possible.
SMOKE DETECTORS
The smoke detectors in your unit are not tied into the building fire alarm systems, because we can’t have a building fire alarm and evacuation every time someone burns food. Unit owners are responsible to inspect, test, and maintain the smoke detectors in their units, on a regular basis.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Wedgewoods is a relatively new commercial building and we have state of the art fire alarm, fire safety, and fire suppression systems, and the building design and construction was according to the applicable fire codes and regulations. Even if you do not see flames or smell smoke, you should not assume there is no danger to yourself, and therefore DO NOT STAY IN YOUR UNIT. The fire alarm/ safety/ suppression systems are in place to try to protect you from a building fire, and you should trust the warning systems and evacuate the building when there is a fire alarm. You should not use the elevators during a fire or fire alarm because it is prohibited by fire regulations. This is because a fire could cause the elevators to stop working, and you could be trapped in the elevator while the building burns.
If there is a fire drill everyone will be advised well in advance and the fire drill would be conducted under very controlled conditions. It is a criminal offense to cause a false fire alarm, and you could face criminal charges if you are found responsible for a false alarm.
The Gym, Chateau 30
Information About the Gym
We are privileged to have our own fitness facility on site. Wedgewoods residents should feel free to use it to get or stay in shape.
The gym is located on the second floor of Chateau 30, and is open to residents between 6:00 am and 10:00 pm weekdays, 7:00 am to 10:00 pm weekends. Residents of the Villas, Chateau 10 and Chateau 20 require a fob to access Chateau 30 and these facilities from the outside door, directly east of the Chateau 30 entrance.
Please be considerate of the neighbors residing beside the gym and make every effort to be as quiet as possible. Specifically, the weights must be used gently and should never be allowed to come crashing down.
Gym access is controlled by the fobs and will be revoked for people who can not use the gym quietly. In this way we can keep the neighbors of the gym happy and avoid noise complaints.
