Disciplinary action is taken against students who fail to leave the building. All students residing in the residence halls are instructed on fire prevention, safety, and evacuation procedures at the beginning of each semester. Training for residence life staff is held in conjunction with the Wilkes-Barre Fire Department who also conducts fire drills and evacuation procedures each semester. All of the King's College residence halls have been currently certified as meeting fire safety codes. All King's residence halls have smoke alarms, central fire alarms and fire extinguishers.
Smoking is restricted to certain areas of buildings.
