Most fire deaths and injuries result from smoke and not fire. Even with a sprinkler system in a building, there can still be a lot of smoke generated, which may hamper building evacuation. To ensure that all building occupants have the greatest chance of getting out safely, evacuation must begin as soon as the fire alarm sounds. When the alarm sounds in these and all University buildings, occupants should evacuate immediately. We are currently recruiting additional building fire wardens for Bressler and MSTF who will be trained to assist in evacuation of these buildings.
Fire wardens play a critical role in our State-mandated evacuation drills.
