RESIDENTIAL SAFETY

Apartment Floor Fire Escape Plan

An apartment fire escape plan shows residents how to leave their unit and reach a final exit through the shared circulation space. This example routes Apartment 4B through a corridor to a protected stair at either end. Fire doors, a call point, and an extinguisher give useful orientation without crowding the map. Replace the sample unit, corridors, and stairs with the actual floor layout. The property manager or safety professional should verify routes, door swings, and posting requirements before residents rely on the plan during an emergency. Keep the posted drawing current whenever the layout, equipment, or approved route changes.
