Fire Emergencies

In the event of fire:

Pull the fire alarm if one is available and start an orderly evacuation (even for small fires: a closed room can reach 1500 degrees within three minutes).
If you are trained in the use of portable extinguishers, and it is safe to do so, attempt to put out the fire.
If the fire is too large for the use of a portable extinguisher, don't consider trying to extinguish it yourself. Evacuate the room and close the door.
From a safe location, call the University Police at (706) 542-2200 [TTY: (706) 542-1188] immediately.

In the event of fire alarm activations:

Notify building officials that you have heard a fire alarm activation.
Call the University Police at (706) 542-2200 [TTY: (706) 542-1188] to report the exact location of the fire alarm.
