Reporting Emergencies - Fire

In the Event of Fire

• Pull the fire alarm if one is available and start an orderly evacuation (even for small fires: a closed room can reach 1500 degrees within three minutes).
• If you are trained in the use of portable extinguishers, and it is safe to do so, attempt to put out the fire.
• If the fire is too large for the use of a portable extinguisher, don't consider trying to extinguish it yourself. Evacuate the room and close the door.
• From a safe location, call Public Safety at 678.407.5333. On campus dial 5333 or 911 immediately.

In the Event of Fire Alarm Activations

• Notify building officials that you have heard a fire alarm activation.
• Call Public Safety or 911 to report the exact location of the fire alarm.
