Emergency Procedure When the fire alarm sounds you must:
1. Tell everyone to remain calm and stay seated. We are going to evacuate the building. Do not worry about the children in the educational wing; they will be looked after.
2. Instruct the ushers to leave the sanctuary to assist in the evacuation of the educational wing.
3. Now go through the following exit procedure.
a. All those with disabilities shall remain in their pew until after everyone else has exited. The elders and deacons will be coming through the church immediately afterwards to assist as needed.
b. We will be exiting the Sanctuary from the back to the front, pew by pew. Remain seated until your pew needs to exit. Exit, single file through the Main doors on the North side of the building. Remain calm.
c. Once you exit the building, go to the East parking lot.
d. Please DO NOT leave the church property until the Pastor, Head Usher or the commanding fire officer gives permission. Once the All Clear is given, parents may go to the Back/Upper parking lot and pick up their child(ren).
e. Do not re-enter the church until permission is given from the fire department.
4. Once the majority of the congregation has exited, have the elders and deacons start helping those in need of assistance.
5. Join everyone else in the East parking lot.
