Smoke or Fire

If you see fire or smoke

• Pull nearest alarm - These can be found at fire exits.
• Leave the building immediately through the nearest marked fire exit. Do NOT use elevators or pedways. Close doors behind you.
• If you cannot evacuate, call 911.
  
• Once outside the building, move to the muster point, if you know where it is, or to an adjacent building.
• Call 911 and then Protective Services (780-492-5050) to report the location of the fire.
• Do NOT re-enter the building until permitted to do so by emergency responders.
• Notify emergency responders if a building occupant might still be inside.

If you are trapped by fire

• Block smoke from entering the room by inserting towels, blankets or clothing under the door.
• Get low and stay as far away from the fire as possible. Get to a window if you can.
• Call 911 and provide your exact location. Signal from a window.

If you encounter smoke

• Get low and crawl away from the smoke and in the direction of an exit.
• Cover your mouth with a damp cloth to filter out smoke.

Be prepared in case of fire

• Familiarize yourself with the evacuation route and closest designated muster/gathering point. You can find this information on the signs posted next to elevators and stairwells in university buildings.
• Ensure your staff, students, and visitors know your evacuation procedures. 
• Take fire extinguisher training.
