Fire Extinguishers and Sprinkler Systems

Fire extinguishers and full-coverage sprinkler systems are provided in residence halls and other university areas to increase the safety of the occupants. Activating or discharging them for any reason other than extinguishing a fire is a violation of university regulations and will be subject to disciplinary action.
