Emergency Response Guide

Horizontal Line

Notes and Precautions:

A fire emergency exists whenever there is the presence of smoke or the odor of burning, when there is an uncontrolled fire or imminent fire hazard in the building or surrounding area, when there is a spontaneous or abnormal heating of any material, or when the building evacuation alarm is sounding.

Only use a fire extinguisher if the fire is very small and you know how to do it safely. If you can't put out the fire, leave immediately and make sure the fire department is called. Total and immediate evacuation is safest.

Fire Emergency Procedure

Sound the building fire alarm if it is not already sounding.
Shut off all equipment and stabilize laboratory experiments.
Leave the building. Use marked exits. Do not use elevators.
Call the Fire Department from a safe place. Dial 9-1-1 from a campus phone, pay phone or campus emergency phones located throughout campus.

All fires, including extinguished fires, must be reported to the fire department.
