    Fire Drill Policy and Procedure

    Florida law and regulations require annual fire drills for all individuals in educational facilities. All
    occupants of these buildings, at the time of the drill, must participate in the fire drill, vacate the
    building in an orderly fashion when the fire alarm signal is given, and not return until the “ALL
    CLEAR” signal is given by UPD.

    The object of the drill is to prepare building occupants for exiting a building during a fire or related
    building emergency.

    The drills are conducted by the University and no prior notification is given to any specific building
    as to a specific date or time.

    How to Report a Fire

    If you discover a fire in a University of Florida building, do the following:

    1. Pull the fire alarm and call 911.


    a. Remember to dial “9” to obtain an outside line if necessary: 9-911.
    b. Fire alarm pull stations are normally located near each exit.

    2. Do not attempt to fight the fire with portable fire extinguishers or fire hoses unless the fire
    is small and you have been trained in their proper use. DO NOT PUT YOUR LIFE IN
    DANGER WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CONTROL A FIRE. When in doubt, evacuate.
    3. Remain calm while talking to the operator. Be prepared to answer several questions as
    to location, size of fire, your name, number of persons in the building (if known) and any
    injuries. Remain on the line until the operator is finished.
    4. Meet fire or police personnel when they arrive at the building. Stand by to answer any
    questions they may have concerning the fire. Once out of the building DO NOT RE-
    ENTER THE BUILDING FOR ANY REASON, unless emergency personnel have given
    the “ALL CLEAR” signal.

    Fire Exit Procedure


    Below are the steps to follow when establishing and participating in fire drills or emergencies:

    1. The fire exit plan shall include everybody in the building. This includes all residents,
    visitors, guests, employees, and attendants. There are no excuses for not
    participating. Everyone must leave the building during a drill period.
    2. Diagram and post two routes to the outside from all rooms.
    3. Designate a meeting place outdoors which is away from the building and clear of
    entrances. The designated meeting place should be at least 50 feet from the
    building.
    4. Locate a method of calling 911 near the designated meeting place that does not
    involve re-entering the building.
    5. Establish a method to account for those known to be in the building at the time the
    alarm is sounded. In case of actual fire conditions, information regarding persons
    believed to be in the building should be made available to responding emergency
    crews. (Do not return inside. Only trained search and rescue personnel should re-
    enter an evacuated area.)
    Tips to Remember
    Predetermine two means of egress from your normal workplace.

    Learn the location of the nearest fire alarm pull station and portable fire extinguisher.

    Learn how to use portable fire extinguishers. Remember the acronym PASS

    P Pull the pin.


    A Aim at the base of the fire.
    S Squeeze the trigger.
    S Sweep the nozzle from side to side.

    If your building is equipped with an automatic fire sprinkler system:

    - Do not store any items within 18” of the bottom of the sprinkler head.
    - Do not tie or hang any items from the sprinkler hears or piping.
    - Report any sprinkler system leaks to the appropriate physical plant shop.
    - Sprinkler heads will activate only in the area of the fire.

    If the fire is INSIDE your room:


    - Leave your room and close the door.

    IF the fire is NOT in your room:


    - With your hands, test the door for heat before opening.
    o IF THE DOOR IS HOT:
     Stay in your room or lab.
     Phone for help.
     Stay calm.
     Seal cracks with wet towels.
     Wait for help.
    o IF THE DOOR IS COOL:
     Take your room key.
     Open the door slowly.
     WALK to the nearest exit and leave the building.
     If the exit is unsafe, return to the room and remain there.
     If the hall is smoky, stay low or crawl out on your hands and knees.
