Please note that the recent fire alarm (Monday March 21) was not
a drill, but triggered by smoke caused by external contractors who
cut a large steel bolt with a grinder adjacent to the 4th floor
ventilation system. ÌýÌýUsers were only allowed back into
the building after ventilation was set to evacuate the smell &
smoke and it was safe to return. As a result of this incident,
contractors will no longer be permitted to work in the 4th floor
mechanical room during the day. Adequate measures will be taken
prior to any work being carried out in the future.
The fire prevention system has now been reset and is
functional.
At this time, we would like to stress that the McIntyre building
will NOT be subject to any fire drills until the
fall (as advised in previous notices). Any fire alarms which may be
triggered will be real alarms and MUST be taken
seriously, particularly during the renovations presently
underway.
