Emergency Fire Evacuation Plans
In order to provide a safe environment for all University
employees, a specific EMERGENCY FIRE EVACUATION PLAN is needed.
The Maryland State Fire Prevention Code requires that all
University occupied facilities have at least one Fire Exit
Drill per year. The University strives to meet this goal.
EHS designs a specific generic plan for each different building
on the campus. Within this plan are specific directions on
evacuation via emergency fire stairs and exits. Floor Fire
Wardens are selected for each floor of the building from
the staff of those floors. These Floor Fire wardens are trained
in their duties and responsibilities by the EHS Fire Protection
Specialist. Shortly after this training, a Fire Evacuation
Drill is conducted. This drill involves Public Safety (Campus
Police), Facilities Management, Operations and Maintenance
and EHS. All drills are evaluated by EHS staff to ascertain
how the fire drill proceeded. If needed, re-drills are conducted.
