Are you a business owner or an employee whose workplace has a monitored fire alarm system?

If your building has a monitored fire alarm system and the fire alarm activates, your job is simple:

➡️ Evacuate immediately.
➡️ Move to a safe location.
➡️ Call 911 if it hasn't already been done.

DO NOT press buttons on the fire alarm control panel.

While it may be tempting to reset the system, or investigate the cause yourself, doing so can create serious problems:

❌ Resetting the system may erase important information that firefighters need to determine where the alarm originated.
❌ You could delay the fire department's response and investigation.
❌ If smoke detectors or other devices are still in alarm, resetting the panel may cause confusion and waste valuable time.
❌ Unauthorized operation of the fire alarm system could create liability issues and place occupants at risk.

Fire alarm systems are designed to protect lives. When the alarm sounds, treat every activation as a potential emergency until emergency responders determine otherwise.

Your responsibility is to safely evacuate and account for everyone in the building.
