Emergency Lighting and Corridor Lights Out

Good Morning Everyone. It appears that the lighting in all the corridors of "B" Building went out last evening around 8pm. Since the lights went out, the emergency lighting came on. Please, if you notice that there is something not working, please report it to FRM immediately. FRM cannot address repairs if they are not aware. Furthermore, if it is a safety issue, please definitely report the issue immediately. Even if it is after office hours. Last nights power outage could have been very significant. Brian received the first notification at 5a this morning. This means that the emergency lighting was working from 8p to 5a. All of the exit signs were out and the corridors were so dark that flashlights were needed. Had there been an emergency during the night, we all could have had difficulty evacuating. Fortunately for all of us, the fire alarm panel was still operable (according to the Providence Fire Department which looked at the panel this morning). Please help FRM out by reporting these issues. When reporting, please be sure to be as specific as possible. For example, saying that some lighting is out is not sufficient. Clarifying with specifics such as the emergency lighting is on, the exit signs are not lit, etc.

Finally, it may be of help to FRM for them to hear from people specifically as to what may have happened. One tenant reported that the lights went out in the parking lot around 8p last night making the entire parking lot so dark that there was no visibility at all; possibly rendering the video cameras not as successful with capturing any illegal activities should they have occurred. Please email us at westfieldloftstenants@gmail.com with any information that you may have. This will be forwarded to Brian for future reference.

Thanks.

Chris
