Fires can have a devastating impact on university resources.
Once these spaces are damaged or the individuals who use them injured, the mission of the university is threatened. Fires occur on campuses across the United States every day. Here at the University of Utah, fires damage classrooms, labs and equipment every year. Every employee and student at the University should be aware of the often unique fire hazards of a large teaching and research university. Supervisors are responsible for providing the information employees need to reduce the risk of fire in their work site and to know what to do if there is a fire.
