All Title IV eligible institutions that participate in Title IV programs and maintain on-campus student housing facilities are required to publish an annual fire safety report that outlines the fires safety systems, policies, practices, and statistics of the university. Colleges must report only those fires that occur within an on-campus student housing facility. Colleges may not simply report all fires that occur anywhere on campus. Colleges must report on the number of fires (if any) that occur in the on-campus student housing facility, the cause of each fire, the number of injuries (that resulted in treatment at a medical facility) and deaths from such fires (including someone who dies within a year from injuries sustained in a campus fire), and the value of fire-related property damage. The U.S. Department of Education (ED) regulations and commentary indicate that both the Annual Security Report (ASR) and the Annual Fire Safety Report can be distributed to the campus community in a single document or in separate documents. If reported separately, each report must contain information on how to directly access the other.
