2 General Fire Procedure In case of a fire, you should follow the R.A.C.E. procedure: R Rescue A Alarm C Confine E Extinguish / Escape The next slide will provide definitions for each of the R.A.C.E. steps. R.A.C.E. Procedure (continued) Rescue: Rescue anyone (including yourself) who is in immediate danger from the fire. Remove these people to the closest safe area, simultaneously notifying other staff of the fire and its location. Know where alternate exits are located Alarm: If you are the first person to discover a fire, communicate your discovery to other staff in the area, activate the closest fire alarm, call from the nearest safe location. If you are involved in rescue, send someone else to call

3 R.A.C.E. Procedure (continued) Confine: Confine the fire by closing all of the doors in and around the fire area. This will help keep fire and smoke from contaminating the exit paths during evacuation. It also helps to keep the fire to a much smaller area and aids in preventing it from spreading to other areas. Extinguish/Escape: There is no better time to control and extinguish a fire than in its early stage. Utilize the fire extinguisher acronym P.A.S.S. (see next slide) if you discover a fire in its earliest stage. If a fire is well developed, however, the best thing to do is to close the doors around it and escape. Do not place yourself at unnecessary risk your greatest value is as a rescuer. P.A.S.S. P Pull : Stand back 8-10 ft. from the fire and pull the pin. A Aim: Aim the nozzle at the base of the flame. S Squeeze: Squeeze the handle. S Sweep: Sweep the nozzle from side to side at the base of the flames until the fire extinguisher is completely empty. Continue to spray even if the fire appears to be extinguished. Additional Information: All employees should know where the nearest fire extinguisher is in their work area. 3

Fixed Fire Protection Sprinklers are installed throughout the Student Health and Wellness Center and North Hall. Other fire protection devices include pull type fire alarm boxes, ionization smoke detectors, fire doors, portable fire extinguishers and cabinet-mounted fire hoses. A fire alarm may be initiated by one of several methods: Manually operated pull stations located in the corridors of the facility (note: pull stations at SHWC are only on the first floor near exits) can be pulled, or electrically operated. Flow switches activated by water flow from a sprinkler will activate a fire signal. There are three "products of combustion" type detectors in the building that automatically initiate fire signals and close fire doors. 12

13 Fixed Fire Protection On arrival of the Fire Department, the fire will be pinpointed and controlled. After the emergency has passed, the Fire Department will silence the evacuation alarm, then restore the alarm system to the ready condition. Fire separation doors close automatically upon detection of products of combustion in the vicinity. They must be reopened manually after the alarm system has been restored. Only continuous and diligent fire prevention efforts by each employee will insure that no life-threatening or property-threatening fires will occur.

They are inspected and tested annually with replacements provided as needed. Each extinguisher is tagged indicating the date of service and the service performed.
