Dear Residents,
High Rise Building Fire Safety
California is currently dealing with deadly wildfires, and while the fires are fortunately not in our area, we’d like to provide useful safety reminders for High Rise Building Fire Safety:
- Know the Plan – Make sure you are familiar with Luma’s evacuation plan. Our safe refuge area (the location we would meet if an evacuation occurred) is the corner of 11th and Grand Ave. (by the Starbucks). Please make sure you are also familiar with the nearest stairwells in cases of emergencies.
- Stay Low – Smoke from a fire is toxic and deadly no matter what kind of structure you live in. Make sure to stay as low as possible and try to go under the smoke when evacuating.
- Seal Yourself in for Safety – If you can’t exit the building due to smoke or fire in the hallway, call the fire department to report your exact location and gather in a room with a window. Close all doors between you and the fire. Use duct tape or towels to create a seal around the door and over air vents in order to keep the smoke from coming in.
- Stay by the Window – If windows can be opened and you must have air, open the window. Break windows only as a last resort as they will become inoperable.
- Signal to firefighters – Wave a flashlight or light-colored cloth at the window to let the fire department know where you are located.
