Fire Alarm Procedures


In accordance with New York State Law, Monroe Community College must conduct unannounced fire drills each year.  This is a requirement of section f405 of the uniform fire prevention and building code. 

The purpose is to educate the college community on the proper method to exit the college buildings should an emergency arise.  As fire drills are now unannounced, please take the opportunity to discuss fire alarm procedures with others in your office and classroom.

Please remember that it takes a group effort to make a quick and safe evacuation of the building. Once everyone is out of the room, close all windows and doors.  Shut off the lights, leave the building and get away from the buildings and exit the courtyards.  For further information please refer to the following MCC Web site PowerPoint.
