| The Orange and Seminole County Fire Department's Station 65 is located on campus to serve the university community. | ||
As part of a statewide regulation, each residence has smoke detectors connected to the building's alarm system. Once activated, the alarm system will contact the University Police Department and an officer will be dispatched immediately. Automatic pull stations and fire extinguishers are located on each floor.
For residential
halls and apartment living, more information is provided as a part
of the Department of Housing and Residence Life's informational
packets that new students receive each year. Academic buildings
also provide a similar system of smoke detectors, fire alarms and
extinguishers, fire doors and walls that are required under state
regulations. Frequent visits from the university's fire safety officer
and State Fire Marshal's Office reassures everyone's safety.
