Policy Procedures

If you are in the structure that is involved, engage the nearest fire alarm and evacuate the building. After emergency services have been notified, immediately contact Security and Dean of Student Development. If the public fire department has been called, make certain that someone is available and visible to direct the firefighters to the place of need.

If people are trapped inside a burning building, they should avoid opening hot doors. Trapped persons should immediately crawl to the nearest exit following the directions posted at each doorway.
