Fire
Safety |
|
As
a member of the Schreiner University community it is the responsibility
of everyone to prevent fires. Fires not only damage and destroy property;
they also cause injury and loss of life.
Fire Alarms:
False fire alarms eventually create a mood of apathy, which may cause
people to not react quickly enough in the event of a real fire. They
may also divert emergency personnel away from real emergencies.
Careless
Smoking: Cigarettes, matches and lighters account for many residential
fires. A cigarette may fall onto a mattress or into a chair and smolder
for hours before bursting into flame.
Trash:
Accumulation of trash, especially paper presents a hazard. Be careful
that extinguished matches are cool before tossing them into the trash.
Flammable
Liquids: Paint, paint remover, hairspray, and nail polish remover can
all be hazardous if improperly stored. Keep these items away from sources
of heat.
Appliances:
Electric irons left on, unattended stoves and toaster ovens, curling
irons laid down while hot, and unattended electric blankets are all
examples of items that may cause a fire. |
