Emergency Preparedness: Fire

HOW TO REPORT A FIRE

If a burning odor or smoke is present, call 911 and then call Campus Police. Report the fire and, if known, what is burning. If a fire is detected, sound the building alarm by pulling an alarm station.

 
If you can help control the fire without personal danger, take action with available fire fighting equipment. If not leave the area.


A local alarm station will cause the alarm horns to sound. It does not automatically notify the fire department.


Return to the building only when instructed to do so by Police or Fire Department Officials.

RESPOND TO FIRE ALARMS

  • If the audible alarm sounds, evacuate the building.
  • Do not use the elevators.
  • If requested, accompany and assist persons with disabilities who appear to need direction or assistance.
  • Leave all parcels and personal property inside.
    Never allow the fire to come between you and an exit.
  • Remove all persons from the danger area. Close doors behind you to confine the fire.
  • Remain clear of the exits to help facilitate clear access to the building for the Fire Department.
  • If you are trapped in a room, stuff towels, jackets, or material along the bottom of the door to prevent smoke from coming in.
