This happened to me a few years ago. There was an electrical fire in one of the equipment rooms at 2am. We got up, went into the hall, smelled the smoke and immediately went down the stairwell which had all the mechanical fans on full blast. We were then directed to a location away from the building where we waited for an hour or so before we were allowed back in. Luckily it was a small, smokey electrical issue isolated to one mechanical room.
 
alarms should sound 2 floors above, floor of origin and floor below, possibly top floor, the shelter in place unless incident command determines other evacuation needs
