Staging Area 🛡️

“CEASE FIRE” Emergency ⚠️⚠️⚠️

• “CEASE FIRE” is our emergency call. If you witness or experience a serious safety issue (lost eye protection, major injury, structure collapse, etc.), stop immediately, set your gun to safe, and call “CEASE FIRE” as loudly as possible.

• If “CEASE FIRE” is called, stop immediately, set your gun to safe, start calling “CEASE FIRE” so that others can hear and repeat the call, and point toward where the call originated so that the Staff can address the issue as quickly as possible.

• This signal is used for serious safety issues (lost eye protection, major injury, structure collapse, etc.). Do not use this call for gun issues, minor injuries, or gameplay questions/disputes. After CEASE FIRE is called, stop, remain in place, and await staff instructions before moving.
