Statement on Fire Safety
The use of cooking appliances in the residence halls is a privilege. Always use caution when cooking and follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using cooking appliances. In the event of an emergency or fire, immediately contact 911 and then Campus Safety and Security at 386-226-SAFE (7233).
Additionally, all students should follow the Housing and Residence Life Community Standards regarding Fire Safety:
- In the event of an actual fire, residents (and their guests) should sound the nearest fire alarm, if one is not sounding, and notify any University officials they encounter during their evacuation or at their designated safety areas. Intentional misuse of any fire alarm system or University fire safety equipment is prohibited and a violation of the Emergency/Fire Equipment and Procedures Honor Code Policy.
- Residents and their guests are required by state law to promptly vacate any residence hall when a fire alarm is sounded. Intentionally delaying, obstructing, or resisting any University personnel or firefighter in the performance of his or her duty is prohibited. Residents must adhere to directives of University officials and/or emergency personnel and report to the designated evacuation area(s). During an evacuation, the building is not to be reentered until proper authorization is given by a University official.
- Residents who negligently activate the fire alarm system are subject to be charged with violating this policy and the Emergency/Fire Equipment & Procedures Honor Code policy.
