Most campus elevators are equipped with emergency phones for the purpose of summoning aid for those stranded in a stalled elevator. Please identify yourself and the number from which you are calling. If possible, stay on the line until the dispatcher tells you that you can hang up. All university buildings are equipped with fire alarms that sound an audible tone. Building fire alarms are tested on a regular schedule .
Some buildings have strobe flashers for the hearing impaired.
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. Even if you are in the middle of a class it is time to leave. Alert persons in area of fire and direct them away from danger. Activate the fire alarm.
