1111 19th Street NW

STAIRWELL EXITS

The main building is served by two stairwells. Two that lead from the 12th floor to the lobby. There are also two garage stairwells. One stairwell leads from the lobby to parking level B3 and the other leads from B3 and exits only in the alley.

FIRE EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY POWER

There is a fire extinguisher cabinet located on each floor next to the stairwells.  It is equipped with a fire extinguisher capable of extinguishing small fires.  Also located next to the stairwells are pull stations.

A generator will automatically power emergency lighting, one elevator, and fire protection equipment in the event of power failure.

Fire Prevention

Case studies of office fires show that most could have been prevented if simple safety precautions had been exercised. 

You can help prevent fire by following these precautions:

• Assign someone to make certain that all appliances are turned off at the end of the day.
• Be alert for strange odors or lights from electrical appliances.  Have malfunctions checked immediately by calling your Tenant Services Coordinator.
• Do not overload wall circuits and do not use space heaters.
• Store and use flammable liquids according to safety regulations. Clean up spills at once.
• Do not place flammables on top of computer terminals.
• Insure that no obstructions exist within two feet of building sprinkler heads.
