- Public areas are mainly the city streets and sidewalks (both sides) bordering campuses.
Fire Alarms
If a fire alarm goes off, leave the building immediately via the stairways. Cooperate with all staff members and other authorities. Do not reenter the building until you are given permission to do so. If you discover a fire, immediately sound an alarm and call the fire department at 911 stating your location. Then call 540-432-4911 to alert the main campus security.
Fire Safety Standards and Measures
No motorcycles, mopeds, and/or gasoline powered vehicles may be stored inside any buildings because of potential fire hazards. In the interest of health and safety, all fireworks are prohibited. Possession of firearms in the residence halls is prohibited. Open flames including candles are prohibited. Electrical heating devices such as hot plates or other appliances with exposed heating coils are prohibited because of the danger of fire. Acceptable heating devices are coffee pots, self-contained popcorn poppers, hair dryers and curling irons.
Fire safety is always a concern. Students should not tamper with alarms or make changes to or modify any existing electrical equipment such as lighting, wiring or switches. As well they should understand and abide by all storage policies and guidelines for campus living.
Tampering with Fire Extinguishers, Alarms, Suppression Systems or Emergency Notification Devices
Tampering with any of these will incur a fine of $500 and may result in additional outcomes (i.e. restitution for harmed parties).
