Fire Evacuation Drill Schedule
In compliance with New York State Education Law 807, fire evacuation drills will be
held in various buildings throughout the campus August 1–5. Department heads and/or
faculty chairs are responsible for complete evacuation of areas under their control.
Procedure for Occupants
- When alarm sounds, proceed by the most direct means, in keeping with equitable
distribution of traffic, to the nearest exit and stand at least 25 yards outside the building.
- Leave lights on.
- Close all doors.
- Turn off room fans; leave hood fans on.
- Turn off all electrical and gas appliances.
- Close doors to corridors; in the event of actual fire, leave doors in immediate areas unlocked.
- Reenter building when "all clear" is announced by college personnel conducting the drill.
Exceptions to Evacuation during Drills Only
- Those involved in critical experiments or lab processes that cannot be left unattended may remain in the building.
- Those using wheelchairs or crutches may remain in the building; however, one able-bodied person who would be responsible for those people is also required to remain should evacuation become necessary.
A minimum amount of extra time will be needed during drills to examine all fire-safety equipment for proper operation.
Call David N. Miller, director of environmental health and safety, at ext. 6113 with
