2.8.17 : Fire and Safety Equipment

Fire safety equipment (fire alarms, extinguishers, exit lights, emergency lights, smoke alarms, and hoses) are in strategic areas of halls and houses for your safety. Use these only for emergencies. Do not prop fire doors open.

The University strives to provide for the personal safety and security of each resident. Smoke detectors and fire extinguishers have been placed around campus to protect lives and possessions. For one’s own safety, please do not remove batteries from smoke detectors or discharge fire extinguishers. Tampering with these safety items is considered a serious offense. The law requires Greenville University to have these fire safety items in place, and the law also covers tampering with fire extinguishers and smoke detectors. Therefore, any person caught tampering with the smoke detectors or fire extinguishers may be handed over to the civil authorities as well as face disciplinary action up to or including suspension or dismissal.

Fire escapes are for emergencies only. Individuals may not use fire escapes for any other reason. Do not block windows (this includes lofts and large pieces of furniture).
