Fire Safety Regulations

The following guidelines exist to preserve all University Towers’ precious lives! Fire regulations require that stairways and halls be free of obstruction and that doors in hallways and stairwells be closed at all times. Fire laws also will not permit storage of flammable liquids (propane, gasoline...), possession or use of incense, candles, potpourri pots, halogen bulbs, or such flammable decorations as untreated Christmas trees (fire-rated artificial trees are ok). Paper-wrapped doors are not permitted at any time, even during the holiday season.

Upon moving into your room, refer to the fire map for exit instructions and seek all possible routes of escape from your room to the outside as indicated by exit lights and hall signage. State law requires that all residents participate in mandatory fire drills. If you detect smoke or evidence of fire, pull the nearest alarm station and/or notify the Front Desk immediately! If you have a health challenge that could impact your safety while here, or impair your ability to evacuate the building in the event of an emergency, such as a hearing impairment, history of seizures, etc., please contact a Dean immediately upon reading this.
