Use candles safely and in specifically permitted areas only. Keep candles and candle holders in metal trays and extinguish candles as soon as possible. Properly maintained, fire detection and fire sprinkler systems save lives. No items, including storage of decorative items, should be located closer than 18 inches to fire sprinklers. For residential buildings contact the housing department.
Fire doors play an important role in hindering the spread of fires.
Never block any fire door open. Any interior door that is provided with a door closer is likely a fire door. Fire doors must remain shut at all times unless held open by magnetic holders that automatically release upon alarm. Know when to go, where to go, and how to go to escape a fire. False activation of any fire safety device or equipment is dangerous and a criminal offense that is punishable by fines, imprisonment, and university disciplinary actions.
