Evacuation Procedure:

The fire alarm is a continuous loud ringing of a bell. Upon hearing the alarm, all guests are to leave the building via the nearest safe exit.

Our Conference Services staff and Conference Associates have received special fire safety training and will act as Fire Wardens. All rooms will be checked in the area where the alarm has sounded. Any person(s) found remaining within the affected Residence will be liable to a fine of up to $200.00. Assisted by the University Security staff, the Thunder Bay Fire Department will respond to all fire alarms and their personnel will be in charge of the situation. Once the "all clear" is given, guests will be allowed to return to their rooms.
