Trigger the manual pull station to activate the fire alarm if you discover a fire, smoke or a strong smell of burning. |
|
If it is safe and you are trained to do so, use the correct extinguisher to put out the fire. | |
Close all doors behind you and evacuate the building at the sound of the alarm. | |
Evacuate via the nearest emergency exit, use the stairs, and move forward in a swift, orderly fashion. | |
Do not use the elevators. | |
Follow the instructions of the Evacuation Team, Fire Department, and McGill emergency responders. | |
If it is safe to do so, offer assistance to persons with disabilities, special needs, or immediate, temporary or longer term limitations. Inform the Fire Department of people needing assistance once outside. |

Go to your designated meeting point as directed by the Evacuation Team. Keep away from the building façades and keep the path clear for emergency vehicles. |
