The public safety office will be conducting fire drills within the first two weeks of the 2016-2017 school year for all academic buildings, according to Jeff Rook, public safety. All are asked to be aware that when the fire alarm is activated in any building, all personnel must evacuate through the nearest and safest exit. If you are in a class setting, please direct all students to leave the building and wait outside, at least 50 feet away from the building. Public safety and Portland Fire Bureau officials will give an “all-clear” before anyone can re-enter the building.
Fire drills are required during each semester by the Portland Fire Bureau. Public safety apologized for any inconvenience they may cause, but thank all students, faculty, and staff for their participation.
