FIRE

  • Activate a fire alarm. Alarms are located near the exits of all campus buildings.
  • Get out immediately. If you can do so safely, grab your coat and/or purse and assist anyone in immediate danger.
  • On your way out, close doors to prevent the fire from spreading.
  • Use stairs—not elevators—and leave the building.
    • Call 911; tell the operator as much as you can about the fire, including its location.
  • Meet your classmates, fellow hall residents, or coworkers outside at a predetermined location. If anyone is unaccounted for, notify emergency responders.
  • Keep entrances clear, so others may escape and emergency workers can enter the building.
  • Special Conditions—Fire in a Residence Hall

    If you are in a residence hall and a fire alarm sounds, follow the above procedures. Also

  • Meet at a designated house location to count residents. Resident assistants will go to a central location to meet with CC/Student Life/MA. Housing and Residence Life will report the names of missing students. RAs will stay with their houses/students/guests and keep a safe distance from the residence hall.
  • See evacuation procedures posted on your floor.
