It is important to always exit a building immediately when you hear a fire alarm, whether or not you see a fire, and not return to the building until directed to do so by responding staff, even if the alarm has stopped sounding. All students should become familiar with the emergency exits in their dorms and other buildings on campus. Please keep all exits free from obstructions. L.
