If you are calling from the Water Institute, dial only 911. You should know the location of the nearest fire extinguisher within the building where you work. Each extinguisher is labeled with a tag indicating the date it was last inspected. Campus fire extinguishers are checked monthly. All university buildings are equipped with fire alarms that sound an audible tone.
Some buildings have strobe flashers for the hearing impaired.
Building fire alarms are tested on a regular schedule . At present, only a few campus buildings have the alarm system connected to the campus police. Only the Library, Vogel, Chemistry, Kenilworth, and Sandburg alarms are monitored at the police station. In the event of an emergency and your primary exit is obstructed or not available, you need to know in advance where a second exit is located. Whenever you enter a new building, observe your surroundings and determine the location of an auxiliary exit.
