There is a Fire in the building or on campus, what should I do?

What to do:

  • Activate the nearest fire alarm.
  • Call 911.
  • Notify occupants and help those in the immediate area who may need assistance.
  • If the fire is small and you have the training, use a proper fire extinguisher to combat the fire.
  • Do not endanger yourself or others by trying to extinguish a large, well-developed fire.
  • Evacuate the building by the nearest exit.
  • Confine the fire by closing, but not locking, as many doors as possible behind you as you exit.
  • Do not re-enter the building until permitted to do so by emergency personnel.
  • If you are above the ground floor and fire or smoke has restricted the exit routes: remain in the room; place something at the base of the door to prevent the entrance of smoke; call 911 and let them know your location.
Building evacuation procedure:
  • Evacuation is mandatory when a fire alarm has been activated.
  • Do not use elevators.
  • Take personal belongings, such as keys, wallets and purses.
  • Close doors as you exit.
  • Move people to a safe area away from the building.
