Fire Safety

Fire extinguishers, fire hoses, pull stations, and smoke detectors are all fire safety devices found in the residence halls.  Tampering with fire safety equipment is strictly prohibited.  Tampering with fire safety equipment includes, but is not limited to, improperly or inappropriately expelling a fire extinguisher, removing or covering a smoke detector, or inappropriately activating a fire alarm.  Students in violation may be subject to criminal charges as well.


Fire drills will be conducted in the residence halls on an annual basis. Students are required to evacuate the residence halls when a fire alarm is triggered. Failure to do so will result in judicial action under the Code of Student Conduct.
