Fire Evacuation Procedures

The building is fitted with an Emergency Evacuation System that can be operated by the Fire Service to assist in the safe evacuation of a floor or the entire building. In the event of a fire within your apartment the sprinklers will automatically operate, and the alarm will sound.
Government guidance on fire doors, resident responsibilities in case of fire and safety can be found here. 

• Remain calm and act methodically and speedily.
• Leave your apartment immediately closing the doors behind you, and activate the nearest RED call point located at each fire escape door.
• Do not stop to collect possessions.
• Use the fire escape stairs to vacate the building, DO NOT USE THE LIFTS.
• Report to the concierge desk and inform them of the incident.
• Do not re-enter the building until the Fire and Rescue Service advises that it is safe to do so and the re-occupation processes have been followed.

If for any reason any members of your family have a physical or mental impairment, that may significantly affect their ability to self-evacuate the building, then the Property Manager must be informed as a priority and a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) form completed. This is to ensure this is acted on and that the information will be made available to the Fire Service. Any health information will be treated both sensitively and securely in accordance with the Data Protection Act.

• Remain calm and act methodically and speedily.
• If you find the fire verbally warn other persons within the immediate area by shouting “Fire, Fire, Fire”. 
• Activate the nearest RED call point located at each fire escape door.

JLL have adopted a policy whereby they will make residents aware that it remains their responsibility to affect the safe evacuation of people to their demised areas. It is expected that a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) for mobility impaired persons should be prepared in advance by the property management team. 
The Fire and Rescue Service must be notified immediately if these persons remain within the building. 
JLL ensure all residents are fully aware of their responsibilities with regards to the provision of suitable means of escape and fire warning arrangement for mobility impaired persons that may be visiting their property. In this respect, the Regional Facilities Manager is responsible for sending notification to all tenants of the building reminding them of these responsibilities. 
Persons evacuating the building must make for the designated assembly points in order that they can be accounted for. Once clear of the evacuated location, able bodied people assume responsibility for their own safety.

Residents are responsible for their own safety once they have left the premises. Vulnerable or mobility impaired persons should be assisted to the fire assembly point or other safe place if required. This should form part of the PEEP for each premises. Assistance will be provided by the site management team. 
No one must re-enter the building for any reason, until instructed to do so by the Fire Rescue Service and the re-occupation procedures have been carried out.
