Editor's Notes
Fire only happens “fuel + oxygen + heat (ignition source)”
Evacuate the building from the nearest exit that can be safely used.
Meet outside at the front gate (Catherine Street) or at the shipping gate (Concession Road).
There will be a head count to ensure that all personnel have safely evacuated.
