Campus Safety

FIRE

1. Know the location of fire extinguishers in your area and know how to use them.
2. For a minor fire that appears to be controllable, immediately call 9-1-1 and College Security. Then, use the appropriate fire extinguisher to control the flames. Get help if necessary.
3. For a larger fire that is not immediately controllable, close all doors to confine the fire and reduce oxygen, but DO NOT LOCK THEM.
4. Immediately call 9-1-1 and College Security. Give all information requested (your name, your location, size and progress of the fire, etc.).
5. Activate the building fire alarm system at the nearest manual fire alarm box.
6. Notify your supervisor or instructor, then evacuate the building by quickly walking to the nearest exit, alerting people as you go, and assisting those with disabilities as necessary.
7. Once outside, move to a clear area at least 50 feet away from the affected building. Keep the walkways and vehicle access clear for emergency vehicles.
8. DO NOT RETURN TO A BUILDING UNTIL TOLD TO DO SO BY A COLLEGE OFFICIAL OR A FIRE OFFICER.
