Be Prepared
Yonge Corporate Centre has been designed to be as fire proof a complex as possible with sprinklers and 24 hour monitoring throughout the office floors, concourse and parking garage. Still, the possibility of a fire occurring does exist. We therefore have in place Emergency Fire and Evacuation Procedures. Tenants, with the assistance of volunteer tenant Fire/Evacuation Wardens, are required to be familiar with all evacuation procedures if an emergency does arise.
If you discover a fire anywhere in the complex, follow these steps:
- Locate and activate the nearest fire pull station.
- Immediately notify the floor Evacuation/Fire Wardens of the fire's location.
- Floow the instructions of the floor Warden(s) and proceed to the nearest stairwell.
- Evacuate the building.
- Remain outside the building until clearance is given by Building Management or the Fire Service.
If a fire alarm does sound, the evacuation system will automatically place the complex in fire mode. The following sequence of events will occur.
- An alarm will sound.
- All mechanical air handling systems will shut down.
- All mag locks will release.
- All elevators will return to ground level; do not attempt to use elevators.
- Announcements will be made to inform/direct tenants.
It is important for all tenants to be aware of procedures and responsibilities in place in the event of an emergency.
