Emergency Response

Fire Procedures

IF YOU SMELL SMOKE, SEE FLAMES OR ARE ALERTED TO A FIRE

Vacate the fire area immediately and close doors on the way out.
Pull the closest wall mounted fire alarm.
Do not attempt to fight a fire unless you have been trained to use fire extinguishing equipment and it is safe to do so!
Call 911 from a safe location or meet emergency response personnel outside and give them as much information as possible.
Report all fires! (Even those that appear to be out.)

WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS

Stop What You Are Doing and Leave the Building Immediately!

Evacuate the building quickly even when you suspect a false alarm.
If it is safe to do so, close windows and fire doors and turn off lights. Take your wallet, required medications, keys and coat, close your door and proceed quickly to the nearest exit.
Do not use elevators during an alarm.
Move away from the exits to clear the area for emergency personnel. Do not re-enter the building, even if the alarm stops ringing. Wait for permission to re-enter from UWO Police or emergency services personnel.
If you are unable to leave due to smoke, fire conditions or due to a physical disability, call 911 and give your location. Keep the doors closed. Seal vents and cracks with tape, towels or sheets to keep smoke out.
Employees must report to their supervisor or a senior administrator as soon as possible.
