Where's the Fire Exit?

You want to know where the emergency exit is in a building.

Disculpe, ¿dónde está la salida de emergencia?
dees-KOOL-peh, DOHN-deh ehs-TAH lah sah-LEE-dah deh eh-mer-HEN-see-ah?
Excuse me, where is the emergency exit?
Look for green signs that say 'SALIDA' or 'SALIDA DE EMERGENCIA' — they follow international standards.

Está al final del pasillo, junto a las escaleras. No use el elevador en caso de emergencia.

It's at the end of the hallway, next to the stairs. Don't use the elevator in case of emergency.
'Elevador' is used in Mexico and Central America. In South America you'll often hear 'ascensor' instead.

¿Las escaleras bajan directo a la calle?
lahs ehs-kah-LEH-rahs BAH-hahn dee-REK-toh ah lah KAH-yeh?
Do the stairs go directly down to the street?
Guard
Sí, las escaleras lo llevan directamente a la planta baja y a la salida.

Yes, the stairs take you directly to the ground floor and the exit.
'Planta baja' means ground floor. In Latin America, the ground floor is often called 'planta baja' or 'piso uno.'
