Plan ahead - It's important that everyone know what to do if there is a fire:

• Know your evacuation plan
• Know alternative exits from your work area
• Know where fire alarm pull stations and fire extinguishers are located
• If you have any disability that could delay your evacuation, inform Building Management and your Emergency Coordinator for your work area
• If you are disabled, make sure you have a "buddy" assigned to assist you in an evacuation
• Know the location of your Emergency Assembly Area
• IF YOU HEAR THE FIRE ALARM-ALWAYS EVACUATE TO A SAFE AREA

If a fire occurs, follow the R.A.C.E. procedures

• R - RESCUE persons in immediate danger, if safe to do so
• A - ANNOUNCE the fire by:
  Activating the Fire Alarm Pull Station
  Call UCPD at 9+911 (from a campus phone) or 911
  (if from a non-campus or pay phone)
  Give: exact location, nature of fire, your name, and phone number
• C - CONTAIN the fire by closing all doors around the fire and smoke, and in adjacent areas
• E - EXTINGUISH the fire, if you are trained to do so, and only if the fire is small. Prepare to
  EVACUATE the area

Fire extinguishers can be used on small (wastebasket-size) fires, only if safe to do so. Follow the PASS procedure.
