Fire Safety Protocol
At the First Sign of Fire:
1. Notify Campus Police
- Call (415) 338-2222 immediately to report the fire.
2. Evacuate the Building or Area
- Leave the building as quickly and safely as possible.
3. Activate the Fire Alarm
- Pull the nearest fire alarm as you evacuate the area.
4. Avoid Elevators
- DO NOT use elevators during a fire. Use the stairs instead.
5. Check Doors for Heat
- Feel closed doors with the back of your hand. If the door feels hot, do not open it. Find an alternate escape route.
6. If Trapped in the Building
- Hang an article of clothing, towel, sheet, or other fabric out of a window to signal emergency responders.
- Stay near the window and close to the floor to avoid smoke inhalation.
- If safe to do so, close (but do not lock) doors between you and the fire to contain it.
- Shout at regular intervals to alert emergency personnel.
7. For Small Fires (e.g., Wastebasket Fires)
- If the fire is small and manageable, locate a fire extinguisher and use it if you can do so safely.
