Building Evacuations, Fire Alarms and Smoke Detectors

One approved fire drill per semester will be conducted in each residence hall. The ResLife staff will discuss the evacuation plan and meeting locations during a hall/floor meeting. The participation of everyone is required.  

The removal of, or tampering with, firefighting equipment is a violation of state law, and the setting off of “false” fire alarms endangers the lives and property of the Pitzer College community and is prohibited. This includes tampering with your smoke detector (i.e. removing batteries, etc.) or fire extinguisher. This violation of state law can result in a fine of up to $1,000 and a possible jail term of up to one year. Judicial action will take place against an individual or group that violates this policy.    

Please see the Fire Alarms and Building Evacuations policy, applicable to the entire Pitzer College campus.
