Fire Safety
Immediate and appropriate response to the fire alarm is mandatory to protect
life and equipment. 
- Upon the activation of the fire alarm in the LLE, all
personnel must
- close all windows and doors,
- evacuate the affected building, and
- remain clear of the building until the "all clear" signal is given. - LLE is designated "Fight Buildings," which
means that trained LLE personnel may fight a fire after/if
- rescuing anyone in immediate danger,
- activating the building fire alarm,
- the fire is small and contained, and
- there is a clear exit from the fire. - While fighting a fire, you should evacuate if
- the fire is spreading beyond the point of origin,
- the fire could block your exit, or
- you do not know how to use a fire extinguisher. - During work hours, LLE has authorization to
- defer calling the Fire Department if the alarm is false,
- silence the alarm if the cause is not fire and is identified, and
- allow personnel to reenter the building after determining the evacuation was complete. - For more information visit the University of Rochester's Fire Safety Website.
