Barco Law Building has fire protection features that enable the use of a zoned fire alarm system, which means that the floor of the emergency and only one floor above and one floor below the site of the emergency, will signal fire alarm conditions. If the fire alarm signal (audible horns/speakers and visual strobe lights) activates on your floor, evacuate the building. The fire alarm pull stations are located at the exit doors and near the stairwells. 1. If you hear or observe the fire alarm signal: i. Verify that your floor is involved in the emergency by observing the strobe signals. ii. Close the door behind you and evacuate the building by following the Exit signs to nearest stairwell or exterior door.
