Read this: did you know you might be a fire warden?

If you work in an office next to an elevator, exit or stairwell at Main State, you’ve just been given a new respons¬ ibility—assisting employees elsewhere in the building in an emergency. Under a plan devised by the Safety Office, employees near the building exits will act as “wardens” who lead people outside during fires, other disasters or bomb scares. Offices near the exits have been designated “warden rooms,” and a green stripe now appears beneath their doorplates. The stripe is intended to help building guards and State’s fire watch officers (a team of building services Earl Jewell, an assistant budget analyst new wardens.
