Dukes Emergency Procedures

  1. Contact arena staff with the 2-way radio that is found in the penalty box or,
  2. If no radio is available pull the fire alarm (see locations listed below) which will bring them running to provide assistance. They will have notified 911 and will bring a heart defibrillator.

Unfortunately the fire alarms are not in consistent locations from rink to rink at IPSC.
Rink 1 in the hallway adjacent to the players benches and penalty boxes.
Rink 2 behind the players benches.
Rink 3 near the exit doors.
Rink 4 in the hallway on the south side of the rink and across the hall from the north entrance doors.
Rink 5 & 6 near the outside emergency exit doors.
It's best if you familiarize yourself with the locations of the fire alarms.
