Fire protection work is carried out on an ongoing basis. Generally, the landlord is responsible for fire protection outside the premises and the tenant for fire protection inside the premises. This is regulated in the lease agreement.
It is important not to store, place or leave anything in the stairwell or in public areas that could pose a fire risk, make it difficult to access and clean, or be disruptive to the well-being of the occupants.
Evacuation takes place via the respective stairwell. Each tenant is responsible for ensuring that there is an updated evacuation plan.
The building is equipped with an evacuation alarm in the event of a fire. In the event of smoke, smoke detectors trigger an evacuation alarm throughout the building and a signal to evacuate is given via a doorbell. If a fire is detected, call 112, as the evacuation alarm is not directly forwarded to the Rescue Services. Try to limit the fire source by closing windows and doors.
You can manually trigger the alarm yourself using push buttons in escape routes.
