Fire

Familiarize yourself with your building鈥檚 evacuation procedure and always exit the building in the event of a fire alarm 鈥� whether it is a false alarm, a drill or otherwise.

Procedures

  • Pull the nearest fire alarm
  • Evacuate the building via nearest safe exit; do not use elevators
  • Close all doors behind you
  • Proceed to the assembly area
  • Do not re-enter until authorized by the emergency/safety personnel

Evacuating with mobility challenges

  • Pre-plan what to do if there is an emergency in your building and know the exit routes available and what horizontal evacuation options exist.
  • If no exit is available then find a safe place, such as an area of refuge*. If you evacuate to an area of refuge, call Campus Public Safety's urgent line (778-782-4500) to provide them with your location so that they can relay this information to the fire department.
    • If you are in one, stay there.
    • If not, move to a safe place in a different part of the same floor (horizontal evacuation).
  • Supervisors/Instructors:
    • Know the layout of your buildings, any exit challenges and potential safe places.
    • Know what you would do if an evacuation occurs and you have folks in your area of responsibility that have mobility challenges.
    • Know and be able to describe (room numbers, etc.) exactly where any persons with mobility-challenges have elected to await rescue.
    • Make sure to tell the first emergency responder you see in detail and make sure action is being taken.

Important: If you have mobility related disabilities, you are encouraged to share this information with your immediate supervisor. 

*Area of Refuge refers to any stairwell that is equipt with fire doors.

Safety tips

  • Feel the top of doors. If they are hot, or smoke is visible, do not open
  • Do not attempt to save any possessions at the risk of personal injury
  • Do not break windows because oxygen feeds fire
  • Stay low if moving through smoke
  • Staff should offer to assist students and visitors during a building evacuation if possible
  • If safe to do so, supervisors should shut down equipment and main shut off valves prior to evacuating
  • Use a fire extinguisher on small fires ONLY if you are trained, feel comfortable, and it is safe to do so

Two-stage alarms

The following buildings use two stage alarms. The first alarm (slow and intermittent sound) signals standby for instructions over the emergency voice paging system. A second alarm (rapid sound) signals a full building evacuation.

  • Surrey campus
  • Vancouver 鈥� Harbour Centre building
