Fire safety

You can find evacuation plans on every floor, in every building throughout the University. The evacuation plan shows where emergency exits and assembly areas are located. If the evacuation alarm goes off it is important that you know what to do.

If you discover a fire

Help people in danger to a safe place. Alert people in the area.
Activate the evacuation alarm by pushing the evacuation alarm button.
Call 112 if you know anything or have information about the fire.
Extinguish the fire, if it is possible without putting yourself in danger, by using the fire equipment found in the hallways.
Vacate the premises and move to the assembly area for the building and wait there for clearance to enter the building.

Do not walk through smoke. There are always two emergency exits, so if one is smoke-filled, you must use the other.

If the evacuation alarm goes off, and no fire is discovered

Evacuate the premises through the nearest exit.
Close windows and doors behind you if you are in a study room.
Move to the assembly area for the building and wait for clearance to enter the building.
