Fire Safety Equipment and Hazard Removal

Fire Safety Equipment

Fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, sprinklers and fire alarm systems are there for the protection of residents and should be treated with the well-being of all residents in mind. All fire safety equipment (e.g., pull stations, fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, sprinklers) must be used for emergency purposes only. Smoke detectors and sprinklers throughout the residence hall are not to be disconnected or covered under any circumstances, nor should anything be hung from them.

Tampering with fire safety equipment is a crime and will result in a violation of the student code of conduct action from the Office of Student Rights and Responsibilities, possible criminal action, fines and fees.
