In case of fire, smoke, or irritating fumes;
Don’t hesitate—sound alarm
Leave the building
Crawl if there is smoke.
Do not use the elevators; they are dangerous in a fire.
If possible, take the EXIT across to the adjacent building instead of taking the stairs.
Otherwise, take stairs. Stairways are designed to be free of smoke and fire when fire doors are closed.
If you are disabled:
Plan ahead
Know how to tell someone how to help you.
Learn more than one exit from all buildings
Look to help others get down the stairs.
Look for areas of refuge, for example, on the other side of the fire doors away from smoke, fire, or danger.
Call 0111 (emergency dispatcher) on a campus phone, report location of office and give other pertinent information. (Campus alarm does not automatically notify firehouse.)
Fire Extinguishers – Only use extinguishers if you are trained and knowledgeable in their use. Fire extinguishers are only effective for very small fires. If an extinguisher doesn’t put out the fire, leave immediately and call for help. Even if you think the fire is out, call for help.
