Fire reporting
Details of how to report a fire or faulty/missing fire equipment.
All fires, and injuries caused by fires, which occur on the University estate must be reported to the Fire Safety Unit as soon as practicable, if not immediately, as part of the University Emergency Procedures.
University Security are usually informed of all fire alarm activations and report their findings on an internal form (Fire Incident Form (Security) ) to the University Fire Safety Adviser. Where fire is reported by the occupiers, Security duly inform the University Fire Safety Adviser who will attend as required.
When occupiers tackle a small fire without alerting security on operating the fire alarm they must inform the UFSA by email as soon as possible giving details of the incident as well as subsequently completing the online form, see below. On every occasion of a fire, an investigation will be carried out by FSU personnel and the Fire and Rescue Service to ensure University procedures are correct.
The incident must also be reported to the person in charge of the building or area who is required to ensure a report is completed.
On every occasion of fire, personnel should also comply with University Emergency Procedures and complete the online Fire Reporting form.
This is the same as the Accident and Incident online reporting form.
