Evacuate if:
If you discover a fire, explosion or smoke in a building, activate the nearest fire alarm and proceed to evacuate, following the evacuation procedures here.
Warn others as you exit. Notify your campus IUPD at 911 (9-911 also works from on-campus). Always call from a safe location. Do not use elevators unless directed to do so by authorized emergency personnel.
When a fire alarm sounds, Indiana law requires complete evacuation of the building, even if it occurs during a course lecture or you know it’s a fire drill. (see below)
If smoke, heat or flames block your exit routes, stay in the room with the door closed. If there is a telephone in the room, notify IUPD on your and inform them of your situation.
Report all fires, even those which have been extinguished, to IUPD on your campus.
If the fire is small enough to be extinguished and you have had extinguisher training, use a portable fire extinguisher to put out the fire. If you have any doubts about the size of the fire or your ability to extinguish it, do not try. Evacuate!
Never attempt to put out a fire yourself until someone has notified the authorities. Report potential hazards to the appropriate Fire Protection or Campus Facility Services on your campus.
Go to the Place of Refuge or the nearest area where there are no hazards.
Persons who may require assistance to evacuate a building must be provided that assistance by those trained to do so, if possible. Persons in wheel chairs should not use the elevator unless instructed to do so by the fire department. These individuals must be protected in a safe place while awaiting rescue by the fire department.
They should normally be safe in a designated Place of Refuge or an interior room near the stairwell if a Room of Refuge is not designated. If an alternate stairway is available it should be used in this event. Persons with disabilities as well as others who plan to assist them should be familiar with the Emergency Evacuation Action Plan.
The location of anyone who remains in a building should be relayed to responding emergency personnel.
