Fire Evacuation Procedures
1. LEAVE WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS, EVACUATE.
The college does not have fire drills. When you hear the alarm, assume it is an emergency situation. All occupants of a building must proceed immediately to the nearest exit. DO NOT STOP TO GATHER BELONGINGS. DO NOT RISK YOUR LIFE BY STAYING IN THE BUILDING. In the event the alarm ceases, but no “all clear” notice is given, continue to evacuate.
2. EVACUATE TO YOUR DESIGNATED ASSEMBLY POINT.
All of a building’s occupants should gather at the designated assembly point, which must a distance of at least 1 ½ times the height of the building. Each building’s designated evacuation coordinator or alternate will maintain a list of regular building occupants and account for everyone upon exit. If someone is missing, do not re-enter the building to search for him or her until the “all clear” notice is given, but immediately notify security or fire department personnel.
3. REMAIN CALM.
Danger is greatly reduced if you remain calm and clear thinking.
4. KNOW YOUR EMERGENCY EXIT AND ALTERNATE EXITS.
5. PROCEED CAUTIOUSLY.
Feel the door before opening it. If the door is hot, don’t open it, there is fire on the opposite side. If there is smoke and no fire nearby, crawl to the exit. The air is safer close to the floor.
6. USE STAIRWAYS ONLY.
Do not use the elevators, since they may malfunction or open onto a fire.
7. NEVER ATTEMPT TO FIGHT A FIRE ALONE.
If the fire is small, attempt to extinguish it with an available fire extinguisher. Know the location of the closest fire extinguisher. Generally, if the fire involves more than a waste basket, pull an alarm and evacuate immediately. Call 9-911 when you are out of the building.
8. IF YOU BECOME TRAPPED,
go to an external window for refuge. All doors around you should be closed and sealed tightly to prevent smoke penetration. Wait at the window, signal for help, and remain calm. If there is not smoke outside your window, break the window to exit, if safely possible, or to attract attention and call for help.
9. EVACUATE INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES.
Four persons should be assigned to assist the evacuation of individuals in wheel chairs. One person should be assigned to carry the empty wheel chair.
10. EVACUATE EMPLOYEES AND STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS.
Individualized evacuation plans should be developed for persons with special needs. Anyone desiring individualized plans should contact the Human Resources Director.
11. ALL CURRENT AND NEW EMPLOYEES SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY ORIENTED ON EVACUATION PROCEDURES.
