If there is a smoke and/or fire present in the AFT lavatory on the ERJ 175, what signals will be present in the aircraft cabin?

In the event of smoke and/or fire detected in the AFT lavatory on the ERJ 175, the appropriate alerts in the aircraft cabin are a flashing orange light on the AFT flight attendant indicator panel combined with an aural signal from the smoke detector. This signaling system is designed to promptly notify the cabin crew of potential smoke or fire hazards, allowing them to take immediate action.

The flashing orange light indicates a warning rather than an emergency condition, while the aural signal serves to catch the attention of crew members, ensuring they remain vigilant and can respond accordingly. Such a dual alert system is crucial for maintaining safety onboard, facilitating quick identification and response to the situation.

Each aircraft is equipped with specific signaling systems that are vital in emergencies, and understanding these signals ensures that the cabin crew can act swiftly to address any potential dangers.
