Fire Safety

If you see a fire ignite:

Close the door to the fire area. Activate the building fire alarm system and exit the building immediately. Go to the nearest phone, dial 911, and report the exact fire location. Stay clear of the structure and report to your building’s posted evacuation location. In cold or inclement weather, go to a neighboring building when instructed to by hall staff or emergency personnel. Remain in a safe area until the fire department and environmental health and safety personnel allow you to re-enter the affected structure.

If you are in a fire area:

Stay as calm as you can. Feel closed doors from top to bottom for heat using the back of your hand. Crouch low and open the door slowly. If safe, go into the hallway and close the door behind you. Activate the building fire alarm system and alert others to evacuate. Go to the nearest stairway and leave the building in a prompt and orderly manner. If the stairway is full of smoke, leave it and go to another stairway.
