  6. Fire Evacuation • Alarm is a loud bell or siren – tested weekly in each building • Fire Drills – two per year in each building • Residence fire drills are in the first couple of weeks of term • Know your fire exit route – don’t assume you can escape by the same route you entered the building • If you see a fire: • Activate the Fire Alarm – use Fire Alarm Call Points, (red boxes) located by exits • Fire extinguishers, but only use if trained • Evacuate the building, follow the green signs • Call the Fire Service on 999

  7. Fire Evacuation If you hear the fire alarm: • Leave the building by the nearest exit (follow signs) • Proceed to the Assembly Point – location is given on the signs by the exits • Fire Warden, Estates or Security will be in attendance • No roll call – most buildings are open access • Inform the Fire Warden, Estates, Security or the Fire Service if you think someone may be left inside the building • Do not leave the Assembly Point • Do not go back into the building until told to do so
