Feel door handles. If they are hot, do not open doors. Try another exit or a window. If in a smoke-filled area, keep low to the floor to escape smoke. Know all the exits and evacuation plans to their buildings.
Fire drills The security department conducts fire drills in each residence hall each semester.
At the sound of an alarm, all occupants should walk to the nearest exit in a rapid, orderly fashion. Members of the residence hall staff and security officers will check all rooms to see that all occupants have vacated. After being notified by security department staff, members of the residence hall staff will give the signal to re-enter the building. Tampering with extinguishers, smoke alarms, automatic door closures, or other safety devices is a serious offense. Flagrant violations or repeated offenses will mean suspension.
