Fire prevention utilizes adherence to established safety procedures and controls to limit the potential for emergencies.
Fire protection incorporates features and procedures to limit the effects of fires and explosions.
When a fire does occur, each individual should be capable of effectively responding to the emergency. Obstructed corridors and exitways present a hazard to free and expeditious egress by occupants and safe entry by emergency responders. Combustible items can also initiate or contribute to a fire, which, in turn, could eliminate the use of that corridor or exitway as a means of escape. These restrictions apply to all corridors and exitways within UCSD facilities unless specifically excluded by the UCSD Fire Marshal. The posted maximum number of occupants shall not be exceeded at any time.
