Fire

What to do in the event of a fire. 

Follow the Evacuations procedure.

  • Do not pause to gather your belongings.
  • Proceed quickly and calmly to the nearest exit.
  • Assist people with disabilities or mobility issues if you can safely do so.
  • Follow instructions from building safety stewards, Campus Safety, and emergency personnel.
  • Do not re-enter the building or campus until you get the “all clear” from TCC Alerts, Campus Safety or emergency personnel.

Do not use elevators in the event of a fire. If a fire occurs and you are not at ground level,

  • Proceed to the nearest staircase.
  • Assist people with disabilities or mobility issues if you can safely do so.

During the evacuation:

  • Follow instructions from Building Safety Stewards, Campus Safety, firefighters, and EMS personnel.
  • Do not re-enter the building until you’ve received the all-clear. The college will send out an all-clear message via TCC Alerts when firefighters have determined that it’s safe to re-enter the building.
