A fire in a residence hall can endanger the lives of hundreds of people and destroy thousands of dollars worth of property. Fire safety should not be taken for granted. Every member of the campus has a responsibility to help prevent fires. Every student should be aware of potential fire hazards and know proper emergency procedures and phone numbers.
False alarms are also one of the greatest hazards.
They create a mood of apathy which leads to slow reactions in the case of a real fire. Please take the necessary precautions to insure that your room does not have fire hazards. Keep your room as uncluttered as possible. Use your appliances carefully. Report opened fire doors, blocked exits, and accumulated trash to your hall staff.
