Fire Safety Instructions

This page last updated on: July 30, 2017

The Baruch College Faculty Handbook



Last updated on 10/07/2002



All faculty, staff, and students are to follow three basic principles
during any emergency:

  1. Follow instructions of Public Safety/Fire Department personnel.
  2. Do not panic.
  3. Do not use elevators.

Actual Fire/Smoke Condition

  1. Pull nearest alarm. Pull boxes usually are located adjacent
    to fire exit stairs or elevator bank. Pull boxes are bright red.
  2. Call New York Fire Department: 212-628-2900 or 9-911 and
    give the following information:

    1. Condition (fire, smoke, etc.).
    2. Specific location (building address, floor, and area on
      floor).
    3. Your name and your location.
  3. Call Baruch Public Safety Emergency Number 3333 (from either
    212 or 646) and give the following information:

    1. Condition (fire, smoke, etc.).
    2. Specific location (building address, floor, and area on
      floor).
    3. Your name and your location.
  4. Remain at the location to direct Public Safety Personnel, Floor
    Warden(s), Searchers or Fire Department, unless your safety is
    in jeopardy.
  5. Start evacuating the affected area, using the Fire Exit stairwells
    only.

    NEVER USE THE ELEVATORS UNLESS DIRECTED
    BY FIRE DEPARTMENT

  6. Close all doors on the floor and use the fire extinguisher to
    contain or extinguish the fire only if fire is small.
  7. Never let the fire come between you and an exit.
  8. Remain calm and proceed with orderly evacuation.
  9. Do not return to fire/smoke floor until instructed to
    do so
    .

Faculty members in class: If a fire or smoke condition
exists while you are conducting class, direct the students to the
nearest Fire Exit. (Familiarize yourself with these periodically;
they are listed below.)

Faculty/Staff members: During an actual fire/smoke condition,
all faculty and staff members will assist Fire Wardens in the evacuation
of students by directing them to the nearest Fire Exit.

Every individual plays a role in the safety of a community.
Accordingly, Baruch Public Safety is available for questions pertaining
to the instructions outlined above or any information with respect
to safety/security: 212-802-3000.

For information on the duties of emergency personnel and fire wardens,
see the Fire Safety Instructions handbook.
