emergency 
procedures

When evidence of fire is detected, remain calm and dial 911. Be sure to use the address, 101 North Wacker when speaking with the 911 operator.
​

• After contacting the Chicago City Fire Department, immediately contact the Office of the Building at (312) 525-8100. Be prepared to tell the receptionist or the security officer your building address, floor and suite number, the location of the fire, its type and severity, if possible.
• Inform your Floor Captain. Alert all others in the immediate area.
• Do not attempt to fight a fire that appears to be out of control or threatens your safety. If possible, close the door to the room where the fire is located and all doors in the immediate area. This will help contain the spread of fire and smoke. If the fire is small enough to be controlled by fire extinguishers, hand-held chemical fire extinguishers are located on each floor.

To operate the extinguisher, follow these simple instructions:Remember PASS!
P -- Pull locking pin
A -- Aim at base of fire
S -- Squeeze trigger
S -- Sweep spray back and forth at the base of fire

• Listen for instructions over the emergency communication system. You will receive emergency instructions that will be broadcast to the entire building or to individual floors from the Emergency Control Center

Remember, never use an elevator in a fire situation. Always use the nearest stairwell.
