A helpful note about our fire alarms

• We test our fire alarms every week. There's a notice in your halls that tells you the day we test them. You don't have to evacuate the building during testing unless the alarm sounds for more than ten seconds. Also, don't worry if you lock yourself out during a fire alarm, the staff will sort you out with a key to get back in
• Be careful not to set the fire alarm off by accident. Steam or aerosol spray has been known to set them off!

PAT testing service for students

From time to time we offer a PAT testing service to residents. We’ll notify you when this service is available and how to get your items tested.

Remember: Failure to follow our fire safety regulations may lead to us taking disciplinary action against you, so please co-operate with our fire safety guidelines.
