The primary goal of the fire and life safety standards is for building occupants to avoid injury or death during a fire or other emergency. The Campus Building Evacuation Procedure has been prepared to ensure the orderly and complete evacuation of campus buildings in the event of an emergency and/or the activation of alarm system.
Reporting a Fire
All fires, no matter how trivial are to be reported to University Police by calling 911. This accomplishes several things:
- The Fire Department will respond to any emergent/active fire and extinguish
- An incident log will be entered
- The State Fire Marshall will be notified of the fire, a legal requirement
If you have extinguished the fire yourself, notify University Police at (707) 664-4444. Information regarding the fire will be gathered and the State Fire Marshall will be notified.
