TO:  Shutdown Group, All Facility Coordinators, Multiple Buildings

FROM:  FMCS Service Response Center

SUBJECT: Summer Fire & Evacuation Drill Schedule

 

In an effort to promote fire safety awareness and preparedness in compliance with local fire codes, Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) has prepared a fire and evacuation drill schedule. The schedule identifies the proposed day and timeframe of the drill as well as the academic and administrative buildings in which the drills will be conducted.

We ask for your full cooperation and participation is required for anyone occupying a campus facility building during the drill timeframes. You will hear a siren/horn and/or voice command announcement to evacuate the building over the fire alarm system. The expected duration of each drill will be approximately 10-20 minutes. We recognize the drills may interrupt your schedule and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Fire and evacuation drills will be conducted on their scheduled dates between the hours of 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

 

Please adhere to the following directions when the fire alarm sounds to safely evacuate the building:

·       Never ignore a fire alarm.

·       If a fire alarm sounds, evacuate immediately in a safe and orderly manner – do not run.

·       If needed, shut-off any heat sources or equipment, quickly gather personal belongings (i.e., keys, purse, bag) and proceed to the nearest exit.

·       It is encouraged for you to identify and know, at least, two ways out of the building you are occupying.

·       Proceed to the nearest, safe exit when an alarm sounds. Remember to use stairs and not elevators when evacuating.

·       After exiting, proceed to the building’s designated evacuation assembly points or move to a safe location 150 ft. away or further from the building.

·       Do not re-enter the building until given the all-clear to return inside by EHS personnel.

·       For any ADA assistance during a fire drill and inability to self-evacuate, shelter-in-place or go to an enclosed stairwell, if safe to do so. Tell someone of your location and ask them to notify the EHS personnel conducting the drill. If you are not sure if the fire alarm is a drill – Call University Police at 412-268-2323 and tell them your location and situation.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you have questions regarding proper procedures for your area, please contact EHS or send an email to: safety@andrew.cmu.edu.
