UNCG Fire Drill Facts - MFA Handbook
In most university classroom buildings, fire drills will be scheduled once every six months. Exceptions are childcare facilities and residence halls. The night before the fire drill, a sign will be posted on each entrance to the building. It will announce the exact time of the drill and the fact that the alarm will sound for one minute. Evacuation of the building will NOT be required for this drill. The purpose is to familiarize the occupants of the building will the sound of the alarm. If the alarm should sound at a different time or for longer that one minute, TOTAL EVACUATION of the building is required. If the alarm sound as scheduled, it will be at the very beginning of class. If time permits, explain to students that this drill was designed to familiarize them with the sound of the alarm and to ask them to think about evacuation routes. Direct any questions or concerns to Bruce D. Griffin, Office of Safety. This program is jointly sponsored by the UNCG Police and Public Safety and the UNCG Office of Safety.
