FIRE CONCERNS

Each year an average of 1,800 residence hall fires lead to injury, millions of dollars of property damage and even loss of life at American colleges and universities. The Salve Regina Office of Safety & Security firmly believes that the first step in fire safety is education. Education can help prevent a large percentage of fires. At freshman orientation you are educated regarding those items that are not permitted in any of the residence halls. These include candles, incense, cooking appliances, ceiling decorations, space heaters, halogen lamps, black lights and lava lamps. The walls in your room cannot be covered with paper products beyond ten percent. Statistically, these particular items are some of the leading causes of fires on college and university campuses.

The recent installation of a fire evacuation route and a separate evacuation safety procedure list in each residence hall room is a further step in the student's education. Constant attention is paid to fire safety during quarterly inspections of sprinkler systems, smoke alarms, heat sensors, and commercial kitchen suppression systems by licensed technicians. The three room inspections and four fire drills per academic year are also tools by which we educate you and help to insure campus fire safety. Salve Regina’s Office of Safety & Security works closely with the Newport Fire Department in taking steps to help ensure campus fire safety. These professional firefighters are frequent visitors to our campus where they walk through the buildings inspecting and planning for a possible emergency. At Salve Regina we believe that preventing fire with education, planning and preparation is the key to campus fire safety.
