Under One Roof

Exit Sign. That’s the sign you need to look for and see when there’s an emergency. I always remind my sisters who are all working already to make sure that they know where the fire exits are. Just look for the exit signs even from afar and you would know right away where the emergency escapes are. I can nag if I set my mind to it and I’ve been nagging my sister who’s working as an accountant in a really high skyscraper. Because of my constant nagging, she finally memorized all the fire exits on her floor and if the one nearest their office is working. It does. She was able to finally use her knowledge of the exit signs when a fire broke out in the building in front of them. It was a really big fire and it was on the news. I was worried about her because she’s not answering her phone. Turned out they were told to go down and use the emergency escape. Billows of black smoke were entering their building and according to her, it was really suffocating. She thanked me for the nagging. She knew what door was working. Thanks to the nagging about exit signs.

EXIT SIGNS are mandatory. I know that there are city ordinances that makes each and every building in those particular cities to make sure that each structure has designated exit signs atop their fire escapes. An exit sign is very important because it is the beacon that will lead you to safety in times of chaos. I should know, I experienced this before. Fire in the building, too. That’s why I’ve been nagging my sisters to make sure they are aware.
