Fire  

Alarm bells, emergency audible messaging or strobe lights could signal a real fire, a bomb threat, leaks of noxious gases, other emergencies or a fire evacuation drill. Fire alarms are activated in two ways: 

• By someone who notices a fire and pulls the nearest alarm (normally located in corridors of buildings); 

• Heat or smoke causing the activation of heat and smoke detector sensors.  

In both cases, the alarm is received by an external monitoring agency that calls the Fire Department and alerts PornÑо¿ËùSecurity. 

When an alarm sounds – it must be treated as a real emergency.
