Campuswide fire drills take place this week

Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to listen for and participate in campus building fire drills taking place Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 19 and 20.

Once the fire alarm is sounded, all building inhabitants are asked to evacuate and assemble in a spot listed near each building exit and elevator. After an all-clear is given and the fire system is reset, everyone may return inside.

Drills will take place in academic buildings from 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m. on Sept. 19-20.

Drills are conducted annually in all UW–Madison buildings and are a part of the university’s emergency preparedness plans. For more information, call the UWPD at 264-COPS.
