If you smell smoke, see fire or hear the fire alarm…

1. If the fire has just started AND YOU ARE PROPERLY TRAINED IN HOW TO USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER, BRIEFLY attempt to extinguish the fire.
2. If the fire or smoke conditions increase while you are attempting to put out the fire, STOP AND IMMEDIATELY GET OUT OF THE BUILDING.
3. CALL 911 and give the address as “71 Standish Ave. NW at the corner of 25^th Street”. Wait outside the front door to flag emergency vehicles.
4. The interior smoke alarms are monitored and will alert the fire department when triggered. Do not attempt to disable for any reason, that will also alert the fire department and you will be charged a $1,000.00 false alarm fee by the City of Atlanta.
5. Meet all building occupants at the Official OUTDOOR Meeting Place on the sidewalk/curb apron at the end of the office entrance walkway. Verify that EVERYONE is accounted for. Remain there to assist emergency vehicles arriving at the scene.
6. If it is convenient and safe to grab your wallet/purse or briefcase/laptop, do so ONLY as you leave the building – DO NOT RE-ENTER the burning building to retrieve ANYTHING. Your health and safety are the most important concerns – everything else can be replaced.

If owners David Malo and Paul Lawrence are not already present, AFTER dialing 911, call Paul: 404-731-1210 or David: 404-915-0313 to give a full situation status report to us beginning with whether or not all building occupants can be accounted for and if there are injuries.

There are large trees around the house which can be blown down onto the building at any time – just like any other residential neighborhood in Atlanta.  If high winds or tornado warning sirens are heard, grab your cell phone and go to the central hallway of the house. This is the Official INTERIOR Meeting Place for all occupants during a storm emergency – verify that everyone is accounted for during AND after the storm has passed.  Close all room doors in this hallway if there is a danger of windows shattering.  For extremely severe conditions, the ground floor foyer at the front entry from Standish Avenue may be your safest location – be sure to keep the doors closed until the storm has passed.

Off-street parking is located in the parking lot behind the house in spaces 8 and 9 that have signs saying “Reserved Parking by Permit Only for Business-Class Accommodations”.
