Fire

In the event of fire any person may sound the fire alarm. A student should notify the nearest faculty or staff member to ensure that 911 may be called promptly.

Staff members and students should review the Emergency Maps located in each building prior to an emergency. The Emergency Map indicates the location of fire extinguishers, fire alarm pull stations, exit routes, and Safe Assembly Areas. Staff members and students are asked to use fire extinguishers if safe.

Everyone should evacuate the building and immediate area to the designated Safe Assembly Area. Remain in the Safe Assembly Area until the designated Building Captain performs a head count to ensure everyone has been safely evacuated. The person reporting the fire should remain available to give the location to the proper authority and explain any necessary details.
