In the event of a FIRE, the following steps should be taken:

1. If feasible, extinguish the fire using the fire extinguisher located in the building. No employee is required to attempt to extinguish a fire; instead, they may continue with 2 below. If successful, skip to 3 below.

2. If the fire cannot be extinguished:
   a. Use the fire alarm if available in the building.
   b. Notify the fire department by dialing 9-911.
   c. Notify campus security, the President or one of the Vice Presidents.
   d. Be available to advise the fire department of the type of fire and location, but do not interfere with their work.
   e. All instructors should have their students exit the building.
   f. The last person to exit each room should help isolate the fire by closing all windows and doors.
   g. Guide students away from the building and make every attempt to account for every student.

3. If the fire has been extinguished, contact the Director of the Physical Plant or campus security and advise them of the location of the fire.

Exit information is posted in each building for best possible routes for leaving the building.

Fire extinguishers are located on each floor of every building.
