Tag: fire alarm

Tonight we had an incident where a patron accidentally pulled the fire alarm in the East Meeting Room.  The patron had the room reserved for Senior College and arrived to set up.  The room was unlocked (my fault I think because I didn’t lock it after the group before finished) and she entered the dark room.  She was fumbling for the light switch and pulled the fire alarm in error.

Staff followed library procedures to remove patrons from the building in a calm and efficient manner.

What we learned tonight is this:  once a fire alarm is pulled ONLY the Johnston Fire Department can disarm it.
