    bedrooms
    Candles & incense sticks are prohibited
    Fire detection
    − Smoke detection (in bedrooms & hallways) can be set off by:
    – Smoke from cigarettes, cooking fumes, candles & incense sticks,
    aerosol sprays, dust, water vapour (hair straighteners, dryers) etc
    − Heat detection (kitchens) is set off by heat rise only
    Keep fire doors shut to prevent spread of fire & smoke
    Keep common areas free from debris/obstructions
    Fire Evacuation

    Alarm is a loud bell or siren – tested weekly in each building


    Fire Drills – two per year in each building
    Residence fire drills are in the first couple of weeks of term
    Know your fire exit route – don’t assume you can escape by the
    same route you entered the building
    If you see a fire:
    − Activate the Fire Alarm – use Fire Alarm Call Points, (red boxes)
    located by exits
    − Fire extinguishers, but only use if trained

    If you hear the fire alarm:


    Leave the building by the nearest exit (follow signs)

    Proceed to the Assembly Point – location is given on the signs by the exits

    Fire Warden, Estates or Security will be in attendance

    No roll call – most buildings are open access

    Inform the Fire Warden, Estates, Security or the Fire Service if you think
    someone may be left inside the building

    Do not leave the Assembly Point

    Do not go back into the building until told to do so
