FIRE SAFETY & FIRE EQUIPMENT TAMPERING

The hotel is fully equipped with smoke detectors, fire safety information and emergency evacuation plans, and other fire safety equipment as defined by TIC Chapter 6002.002 and TAC 34.600. Tampering with fire equipment is a crime that can carry both fines and incarnation under Texas law. (Texas Penal Code 42.06) Guests or visitors found to have tampered with any fire detection or fire-fighting equipment will be charged with any costs incurred by the hotel due to their actions and will be evicted from the hotel. A fee of one hundred fifty percent of the replacement cost for any damaged or tampered fire safety & fire equipment. Depending on the severity of the Guest’s actions, law enforcement may become involved at the hotel’s discretion. 

Should the fact that fire-fighting or detection equipment had been tampered with coming to light after the Guest has departed, we reserve the right and you hereby authorize us to charge your credit or debit card for any damage incurred to your room or the Hotel property during your stay, including and without limitation for all property damage, missing or damaged items, smoking fee, cleaning fee, Guest compensation, etc. Along with law enforcement may becoming involved at the hotel’s discretion.

To report a fire please call 911 using the hotel phone or using a cellphone. The address of the hotel is: 2804 Ave F NW, Childress, Texas 79201. If time allows also notify the front desk immediately by pressing “0” on your hotel phone or by calling (940)-937-3686. Follow all directions given by the proper authorities. 

Effective fire alarm systems are essential for the protection of life and property. Tampering with fire detection and alarm system equipment is a Class A Misdemeanor, which is punishable by (1) a fine not to exceed $4,000; (2) confinement in jail for a term not to exceed one year; or (3) both such fine and imprisonment. Section 42.06 of the Texas Penal Code states in part that “A person commits an offense if he knowingly initiates, communicates, circulates, or broadcasts a report of a present, past, or future bombing, fire, offense, or another emergency that he knows is false or baseless and that would ordinarily:

1.  cause action by an official or volunteer agency organized to deal with emergencies.

2.  place a person in fear of imminent serious bodily injury.

3.  or prevent or interrupt the occupation of a building, room, or place to which the public has access.”

Childress Inn reserves the right to take action against any Guest or visitor found to have tampered or interfered with any detection equipment throughout the hotel, including detector heads in public areas, Guest rooms, break glass points, fire extinguishers, and/or any other fire safety & fire equipment. 

Due to our high ceilings and fire suppression equipment, no helium (or lighter-than-air) filled balloons are permitted in the facility. Failure to adhere to this policy could results in a $250.00 balloon retrieval fee and or any costs associated with the fire suppression system going into an alarm status caused by such “lighter- than-air” decorations or party favors.

In the case of a fire please exit the room and exit the building through any entrance that is safe and meet at behind the 100 building in the grass field if it is safe to do. Safe distance should be kept from the hotel. If the first location (the 100 building in the grass field is unsafe and/or inaccessible, approach and meet at the second location if possible. If unsafe and/or inaccessible, approach and meet at the third meeting location. Use the closest exit if possible. Remain calm and make sure your children are accounted for. Human life is not replaceable, but objects and property are, leave behind property and do not do back in the hotel until proper authorities have said so.
