The location and type of device that was activated will be indicated on the central station monitoring equipment in the Purdue Police Department. This will reduce the amount of time spent locating the emergency area. Elevator fire control may cause the building elevators to come to a halt at the main floor when the fire alarm system is activated. The elevators then can be accessed by emergency personnel using a key override. Do not attempt to use the elevators to evacuate any building.
Emergency lighting is provided in some buildings.
The lighting will activate automatically in a power failure and will last for at least 20 minutes. Illuminated exit signs are provided throughout the buildings.
