Fire Drills

Fire drills will be held periodically without advance notice. Fire alarm boxes are strategically located throughout the College. When a fire alarm is engaged, these evacuation procedures should be followed:

• All persons leave the building at the sound of the alarm.
• Students should leave by the nearest designated exit and assemble in the designated area, a minimum of 100 feet from the building and wait for notice to return to class. DO NOT GO TO VEHICLES.
• The instructor should secure windows and doors before leaving, if safe to do so.
• All traffic should move to the right of the hallways in all buildings.
• Students should be cautioned not to run or shove when exiting.
• All instructors should inform their students of the fire exit plan at the beginning of a semester and periodically thereafter.
