General Evacuation Procedures

  • When the fire alarm sounds leave the building by the nearest stairwell or exit, DO NOT use elevators.
  • Move to the rally point for your building and stay in office or classroom groups. 
  • Follow instructions from campus police.
  • Do not re-enter the building until told to do so.

Fire Safety Tips

  1. To survive a building fire:
    • Crawl if there is smoke: 
    • Feel the doors before opening: 
    • Go to the nearest exit or stairwell: 
  2. If you are on fire:
    • Stop, Drop, and roll
    • Cool burns
  3. If you become trapped
    • Keep the doors closed: Seal cracks and vents if smoke comes in. If you’re in a room and there’s no smoke outside, open the windows slightly at the top and bottom if possible. This will allow heat and smoke to vent out at the top, while letting in fresh air in from the bottom.
    • Signal for help: Hang an object out the window (a bed sheet, jacket, or shirt) to attract the attention of the fire department. 
    • Sometimes it’s safer to stay in place: If all exits from a floor are blocked, go back to your room, close the door and seal the cracks, open the windows if it’s safe, and signal the fire department or call for help.  Try to remain calm until the fire department rescues you.

Arson is a crime of intentionally, deliberately and maliciously setting fire to buildings, wildland areas, abandoned homes, vehicles or other property with the intent to cause damage or enjoy the act. It may be distinguished from other causes such as spontaneous combustion, accidental fires (smoking in bed, e.g.) and natural wildfires. Arson often involves someone deliberately burning their own property, or having someone else do it, to collect the insurance. First-degree arson – Burning an occupied structure such as a school or a place where people are normally present. Second-degree arson – Burning an unoccupied building such as an empty barn or an unoccupied house or other structure in order to claim insurance on such property. Third-degree arson – Burning an abandoned building or an abandoned area, such as a field, forest or woods.   Assuming the given information is true, pick the most appropriate option.

By studying all following options, select a pair that uses most closely similar reasoning. a. Researchers have looked at the communication between different animals and found that meerkats have a series of alerts and calls that fail into two categories, greetings and alarms.
