Fire & Life Safety

ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ employs full-time staff to coordinate fire and life safety activities on our campus. The ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ Fire Lieutenant oversees the campus fire alarm system, sprinkler systems, fire extinguishers and extinguishment systems, the public-access AED program (automatic external defibrillators), and coordinates fire prevention activities, public first-aid and CPR Programs. Life Safety is the number one priority for all faculty, staff, and students.

While ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ is a large commuter university, we currently also have nearly 2,500 of our students in residence. All residence hall staff go through semi-annual training and drills to ensure a smooth and timely evacuation of residence halls in the event of an emergency and assist with fire prevention and education for all residents. ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ Fire & Life Safety works with the ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ Police Department and mutual aid departments that assist with fire suppression and after-hour emergencies.

In the event of an emergency, please dial 911. For routine issues, please contact the ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ Police Department at (860) 832-2375.
