FIRE

Call 911

  1. In case of fire, activate the nearest fire alarm pull station.  Take appropriate precautions to ensure your personal safety.

  2. Call 911.  Give your name and the exact location of the fire (JCU, building, floor, room).  Be sure to stay on the phone until released by the 911 Emergency Operator.

  3. Evacuate the building by the nearest exit.  DO NOT USE ELEVATORS.  If individuals with a disability cannot safely evacuate the building, assist them to the nearest uninvolved stairwell.  Alert emergency personnel of their location.

  4. Once outside, go to the designated rally point.  If this location is unavailable, go to a clear area that is at least 500 feet away from the affected building.  Keep driveways and sidewalks clear for emergency vehicles and personnel.

  5. DO NOT RETURN TO EVACUATED BUILDING until authorized by the Fire Department or Campus Safety Services.

  6. Classroom leaders insure that students evacuate the classroom and should ask students to sign in at rally point to ensure everyone is evacuated.
