Students Learn Fire Safety
Fire safety is a #1 priority on the Ramapo College campus. With the Pine Hall sprinklers added over the summer, all of the residence halls on campus -- Pine, Linden, Oak, and Maple --are now fully sprinklered, as are the College Park apartments Phase II. The older apartments, which are partially sprinklered, and the Lodge are scheduled to undergo sprinkler system expansion to all sleeping quarters by September 2001. The state recently enacted legislation mandating the installation of automatic sprinklers in every college residence building by 2004. In August, over sixty resident assistants and thirteen staff completed a training course in fire prevention and evacuation procedures at the Bergen County Public Safety Institute in Mahwah. Led by Chief Fire Instructor John Evans, the group underwent a three-hour training program including fire prevention, how to prepare an escape plan, and a live demonstration showing the intensity of fire and the danger of smoke. "The reaction of the students was overwhelmingly positive," says Pat Chang, associate dean of students. The program was so successful that Evans visited Ramapo on October 11 for a campus-wide presentation of his dynamic and educational workshop. |
