Fire prevention is an important component of the university’s fire safety program and being proactive against any potential fire and life safety hazards offers the greatest protection against injury or property loss. The university’s fire and life safety program is designed to prevent or reduce property loss and injury from fire and explosions arising from storage, handling and use of flammable and combustible substances, materials and devices.
The university’s fire and life safety program complies with the NFPA 1 Fire Code, NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, and SFA’s fire and life safety procedures while cooperating with the local fire department to ensure fire and life safety procedures comply with local requirements. Compliance with state and local requirements for accessibility to facilities, compatibility of equipment and adequacy of fire suppression water supplies and hydrants, is necessary for the safety of responding firefighters and preservation of state property.
