Fire Alarms:
    For your protection, all buildings are equipped with fire alarm systems, smoke detectors and sprinkler systems.  When a fire alarm sounds, we are required by law to evacuate the respective buildings by the nearest exit.  Do not re-enter the buildings unless authorized to do so via the Public Address System by the Department of Public Safety.  Fire alarm pull stations are located near exits: learn the location of the one nearest your work location. At the Brighton Campus, information about evacuations and procedures for persons with disabilities may be found:  Brighton Evacuation Procedures. Information specific for the Damon Campus is available at DCC Evacuation. 

In Case of Fire:

• Close the door to the fire area
• Call 2-9-1-1 to report the fire; activate the alarm system
• Evacuate the building
• Do NOT use elevators

General Fire Safety:

• No storage in exits, corridors or stairwells
• Don't overload electrical outlets
• Use heavy duty extension cords on a temporary basis
• Handle flammable liquids with care
• Don't leave appliances unattended
• Good housekeeping is essential for a fire safe workplace
• If your clothes catch fire, stop-drop-roll
