Advance planning is essential when there is a fire. All faculty should review fire safety procedures with students during course orientation.

It is important that all faculty, staff and students:

  1. Know the location of fire extinguishers and fire alarms in your area (if any) ahead of time and how to use them. 火 alarms are usually located at or near the exit. If you have not had fire extinguisher training and want to be trained, call the Physical Plant 918-343-7818.
  2. 至少要熟悉 两个 fire exits in your area in case one is blocked or unusable.
  3.  一般建筑物疏散 有关详细程序.

Upon discovery of a small fire (about the size of a basketball):

  1. First call 911 and then notify RSU警察局 at 918-343-7624.
  2. 拉 the nearest fire alarm (if available in your building). Give a verbal alarm to others in the area if a fire alarm is not available.
  3. If you have had fire extinguisher training, remove the fire extinguisher from the wall or bracket and remember PASS:
    •  the pin (remember – you must pull out the pin to discharge the fire extinguisher).
    • 目的 the nozzle at the base of the flames 8 to 10 feet from the fire.
    • 挤压 触发器.
    • 扫描 the nozzle back and forth across the base of the flames.

Upon discovery of a large fire:

  1. Call 911 and 343-7624 to reach the RSU警察局.
  2. Activate the fire alarm and give verbal alarm to others. 火 alarms are generally located near the exits.
  3. Evacuate the building using the general building evacuation plan.
  4. Exit using the stairways only.  使用电梯.
  5. 关闭 all doors leading to the main hallways to prevent further spread of the fire. 从来没有 支撑楼梯间门打开.
  6. Once outside move to the predetermined emergency assembly area.
  7. Keep roadways and walkways clear for emergency vehicles. Remain upwind from smoke and fumes.
  8. Wait for further instructions from 火 Department or RSU警察局.
  9.  re-enter the building until it has been cleared by the 火 Department.
