Fire Safety

1. What percentage of your student housing sleeping rooms are protected by an automatic fire sprinkler system with a fire sprinkler head located in the individual sleeping rooms?

NOTE: A student housing sleeping room is defined as the actual room in which the occupants live and sleep.

Student housing can include typical residence halls, graduate student housing, married student housing or any housing that is under the control or affiliated with the school, such as private, third-party residence halls built under contract with the school. This does not include Greek housing.

2. What percentage of your student housing sleeping rooms are equipped with a smoke detector that is connected to a supervised fire alarm system?

NOTE: When the smoke alarm/detector is activated it must transmit a signal to a supervised location, initiating an immediate response by a staff member to investigate. This alarm does not necessarily activate the building fire alarm system.

3. What percentage of student housing sleeping rooms are equipped with a hard-wired smoke alarm that is not supervised by a building fire alarm system and does not transmit a signal to a supervised location?

4. How many malicious fire alarms occur in student housing per year?

NOTE: A malicious fire alarm would be defined as one where a building's fire alarm system is activated even though it is known that there is no emergency condition. For example, someone blows smoke into a smoke detector or a manual pull station is activated.

5. How many unwanted fire alarms occur in student housing per year?

NOTE: An unwanted fire alarm would be defined as one where a building's fire alarm system is activated by non-emergency conditions, yet the fire alarm system responds appropriately to stimuli that it interprets as a fire condition. For example, a smoke alarm that is located too close to a shower and is activated by steam, or is adjacent to a cooking area.

6. What percentage of student housing building fire alarm systems, if activated, result in a local alarm only?

NOTE: Meaning that if a building fire alarm system is activated, the alarm will be activated in the building and will not transmit a signal to a monitored location outside of the building.

7. What percentage of student housing building fire alarm systems, if activated, result in a signal being transmitted to a monitored location, and security investigates before notifying the fire department?

8. What percentage of student housing building fire alarm systems, if activated, result in a signal being transmitted immediately to the fire department so they can begin responding?

9. What percentage of student housing building fire alarm systems, if activated, result in a signal being transmitted immediately to a continuously monitored location with can then immediately notify the fire department to initiate a response?

10. How many contact hours of fire prevention training/evacuation training are provided to students living in student housing?

NOTE: This includes contact time where fire safety information is distributed/provided to students. A fire exit drill can be included if education/training is a component of the drill. Simply holding an exit drill will not count towards fire prevention training/evacuation.

Examples of contact hours would include resident assistant floor meetings with the residents or fire extinguisher training that is provided to 30 students in one hour which would equal 30 contact hours. For online training, provide an estimate of how long it would take the average person to complete the training and multiply by the number of people receiving the training.

11. How many contact hours of fire safety training per student per year does housing staff receive?

NOTE: For purposes of this question, housing staff will include only personnel such as resident assistants and/or resident directors who live in student housing.

12. How many contact hours of fire safety training is provided to students not living in student housing (i.e., off-campus, including Greek)?

NOTE: This will not include fire safety training provided to specialties such as laboratory assistants. This must be actual training with contact time and not include simply handing out brochures, fire safety articles in the student newspaper, etc. An example of contact hours would include fire extinguisher training that is provided to 30 students in one hour which would equal 30 contact hours.

13. How many regularly scheduled, supervised exit drills are held per year in student housing?

14. What percentage of the houses of fraternities officially affiliated with the school are equipped with automatic fire sprinkler systems?

NOTE: These buildings must be fully sprinklered; partially sprinklered houses would be considered unsprinklered.

This includes organizations that are officially recognized by the school as student organizations.

16. How many fires did your school experience last year in student housing?

NOTE: A fire must result in damage to the structure or contents.

17. What is the dollar loss related to fire that has occurred on your campus in residential housing?

NOTE: Dollar loss is direct property damage to the structure and contents and does not include costs such as alternative housing, staff response, etc

18. How many students have been injured by fires in student housing?

19. How many students have been killed by fires in student housing?

20. Does your school ban any of the following items or activities in student housing sleeping rooms?

NOTE: The "cooking" option excludes cooking done with school-approved/supplied appliances or in school-approved areas, such as kitchens.

candles
halogen lamps
smoking
cooking
live christmas trees
ceiling tapestries

21. Does your school require fire-resistance ratings on furniture (including, but not limited to, beds, mattresses, desks, and chairs) in student housing sleeping rooms? Yes No

22. Does your school require that furnishings brought in by the students have fire-resistance ratings? Yes No

23. How often are fire safety rules-compliance inspections conducted in your school's student housing?

NOTE: This refers to regularly scheduled, in-room inspections conducted by an inspector or trained individual who is knowledgeable about fire safety issues. It does not refer to a security officer making regular rounds. ALL of the rooms must be inspected during these inspections and checked for hazards.
