Fire Extinguishers

You will see fire extinguishers in several locations around APS.  These are only to be used by firemen, and others who have received the official ANL fire extinguisher training. Do not fight fires yourself. Call 911 in a fire situation.

Fire Alarms

APS has a two-stage fire alarm system. If you hear a fire alarm in experiment hall, proceed to the LOM (Lab-Office Module) areas. If the fire alarms are also ringing in these areas, proceed to the nearest emergency exit, turn right once outside, and continue to the assembly area on the far side of building 440 (Center for Nanoscale Materials).

Tornado Alarms

In a tornado alarm, proceed directly to the mens' or womens' rest rooms. These also serve as the local tornado shelters.
