In the case of a fire

• the smoke detectors will activate the Evacuation System and
• the Fire Brigade is called automatically

The Evacuation system alarm consists of two tones:

1. Standby tone - a Beep...Beep...Beep... sound [Prepare to evacuate]
2. Evacuate tone - a Whoop...Whoop...Whoop... sound accompanied by a voice message advising evacuation of the Building.

• Do not attempt to combat the fire - this should be left to professionally trained personnel.
• Staff are to take any students or visitors with them during an evacuation of the building.
• Assist any person with a disability.
• Only take your immediate belongings - do not waste time!
• Evacuate the building via the fire stairs or signed exits. Do not use lifts.
• Obey directions from Security Officers or Fire Wardens.
• Move quickly, but do not run.
• Do not return to the building until the 'all clear' is given. This would normally be advised by the Security Officer on duty on the advice of the Emergency Services Personnel in attendance.
