Emergency Station 4-K sits along a mill floor inside ArcelorMittal's Indiana Harbor Works in East Chicago, Indiana. The posted phone list — hospital, police, safety, and fire lines, along with instructions to dial 5555 or 0 to report a fire — standard mill-wide emergency protocol for a plant of this scale. A fire blanket box, stretcher, and tool case are staged nearby, equipment kept on hand for immediate response given the hazards of steel production, including molten metal handling and heavy machinery.
