<p>Quest Maribyrnong is equipped with sophisticated fire detection and prevention systems. As a further precaution, we ask that you familiarise yourself with the emergency evacuation plan, located on the back of your apartment door. In the event of a fire, a continuous warning bell will sound. Should you become aware of a fire or smell smoke, please call Reception immediately and state the location, in order to enable investigation.</p>
