Fire Safety Education
Residence Education and Housing Services staff receive safety training which includes fire safety awareness, emergency response and disaster preparedness.
They learn how and when to use a fire extinguisher and fire hose, how to report a fire or other emergency, Emergency Operations Plan review with use of event documentation forms, and residence hall fire prevention. Hands-on training includes use of a portable extinguisher on a pan fire. The United Educators video "Dorm Fire Safety" and/or "Get Out & Stay Alive" are shown.
Academic & Administrative departments have one or more Disaster Preparation Department Contacts who also get training on fire safety and use of extinguishers and fire hoses.
