A Fire Drill was conducted on 21^st March 2019 at the University of Embu.
The University of Embu trains Fire Marshals from time-to-time selected from its staff and students. Their role is to enforce order during fire incidents; fight fires, raise the alarm and call the emergency services during fires.
Fire drills are an important part of the UoEm fire safety procedures for many reasons. Not only do they ensure that all staff, students and visitors in our premises understand what they need to do if there is a fire, but they also help us to test how effective our fire evacuation plan is and to improve certain aspects of our fire provisions.

IF YOU DISCOVER A FIRE:

1. Ensure no one is in immediate danger
2. Raise the alarm by sounding the nearest fire siren/shout FIRE!
3. Attempt to tackle the fire with the nearest appropriate fire appliances
4. If the fire is beyond control, evacuate the building, closing as many doors as possible.

1. IF YOU HEAR THE FIRE SIREN/ALARM:
