Evacuation of the building can be done by utilizing the fire alarm. The fire alarm may sound automatically when smoke or heat is detected. The system may also be manually activated at pull stations throughout the building. The fire alarm may be ordered for instances of fire, hazardous material release, bomb threat or active shooter. In any event, if the fire alarm sounds, everyone must exit the building by the nearest door. Instructors are responsible for evacuating their classroom and for closing any doors as they exit. Elevators should not be used in the event of fire alarm activation. People should move away from the building and clear all doors. Driveways should also be cleared for emergency responders. Security and Operations staff will be responsible for checking stair tower safe zones for individuals needing assistance in evacuation.
