Original Approval Date: April 15, 2009
Revision Effective: September 21, 2016
Supersedes:
                                                                                                                       
For your personal safety and the safety of clients and co-workers, all staff should become familiar with the building layout, location(s) of fire extinguishers and emergency exit routes that are posted in each office.
 
In case of fire at the Tri-County Board offices:
  • Begin moving to safety immediately.  Notify all staff in the building if possible and activate fire alarm.
 
  • When you can safely do so, call 911 and provide the following information:
    • Address of the Board Office
    • Location of fire
    • Any persons trapped in building
 
  • Proceed (and assist visitors) to the emergency meeting place at west parking lot and notify supervisor & fire personnel of any persons in the building that are not present
 
  • Refer all media to the Director of Community Resource Development
 
General fire safety information if involved in a fire
  • Assist in the evacuation of the building. 
  • If air is smoke-filled, stay low to the floor where it is less toxic.  
  • Place hand on doors before opening.  If very hot to the touch, do not open. 
  • Take fire stairs and make sure to close door to stairwell behind you.  
  • Do not attempt to use elevator, these normally “lock” on activation of fire alarm. 
  • If you are trapped, hang an article of clothing out of window to show where you are.  
  • Stay away from hydrants and access areas adjacent to building. 
  • Stay alert to any indications someone is trying to signal from a window. 
  • Notify fire department immediately if you see indications someone is trapped.
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a piece of cloth-wet it if possible.
 
Fire drills and review of this policy will be conducted on at least an annual basis.
