Fire Extinguishers

Fire extinguishers are located on each floor and in each apartment. Use a fire extinguisher only if you have been trained to do so. Irresponsible use of a fire extinguisher can create a dangerous situation for other residents and could result in damage to personal property. Misuse of a fire extinguisher will result in fines.
灭火器位于每层楼和每个公寓。只有在你受过培训的情况下才能使用灭火器。不负责任地使用灭火器可能会为其他居民创造危险情况,并可能导致个人财产损失。误用灭火器将导致罚款。

Smoke Detectors
烟探测器

A smoke detector is on the ceiling in your room. Some buildings also have heat detectors on the ceilings. Do the following to ensure the safe operation of your smoke detector:
你的房间里的天花板上有烟探测器。一些建筑的天花板上还有热探测器。做以下事情以确保你的烟探测器安全运行:

●If your smoke detector is working properly, the red light should be on. If the red light is not blinking(闪动), contact residence hall staff immediately.
●如果你的烟探测器工作正常,红色指示灯应该亮着。如果红色指示灯没有闪烁,立即联系宿舍楼工作人员。

●Do not cover or block your smoke detector in any way.
●不要以任何方式覆盖或阻挡你的烟探测器。
