Personal safety involves eliminating fall hazards as well as fire hazards.

If this catches fire, it now affects everyone in the whole building. This is a life-safety issue.

We are following fire safety norms according to US standards, which is very stringent. Elevated sections would not have any major problem but underground sections can be evacuated in less than five minutes. Besides the Metro staff and private security staff employed are also trained to handle such hazards.

Safety continues to be our No. 1 priority.

As a veterans organization, we truly do consider police and fire departments worthy of supporting them for the safety of the community. We feel they are deserving of our gaming dollars. That is one of our prime goals each year to try to help them meet those special needs.

The American Fire Safety Council strongly supports this activity and believes that as electronic technology and design features continue to evolve, appropriate fire safety protection must be maintained.
