[ Campus Fire Safety Month Legislation


CCFS Partners with Dominos and NFPA to deliver Fire Safety Message!

 

 

 

Domino’s Pizza has partnered with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and The Center for Campus Fire Safety (CCFS) to demonstrate the importance of fire safety to students at selected campuses throughout the USA. This years local franchisees have identified several schools that they will deliver pizza to, in conjunction with a Dorm Room Burn, or other student training such as escape training, fire extinguisher usage, RA Training etc. During the training Domino’s will be handing out free delicious pizza to students that attend. The Domino’s, team, working with NFPA & CCFS, have prepared tool kits for the local franchisee to include magnets, box toppers, fire safety tips/flyers, press release templates and much more to help the schools promote these training events. All of this information is available electronically on the Domino’s Network so the franchisees can customize the tools with their local information.

More on this and other activities will appear next month.

If you have plans for a dorm room burn, or other type of training during Campus Fire Safety Month, and you have a local Domino’s, you can call, mention the partner program and ask if they are able to work with you on this program.  Please understand, not all Domino's are participating in this program.

Guilford College
Fire Safety Day
Greensboro, NC
September 14th

This is an annual event that is continuing to grow each year. This year, a QR Code scavenger hunt has been incorporated. There are 10 flyers that advertise Campus Fire Safety Day that are being posted all over the campus. Each flyer has a unique QR code on it that once scanned, gives a “fire safety tip”. Students are instructed to find all 10 flyers & write down what each QR code tip is. The first two students to turn in the 10 Tips to Student Life will receive a $25 gift card! This is done days leading up to the September 14th event.

On the day of the event, each station or activity will have a firefighter with a stamp. Once students participate in that activity, they will get their card stamped. If they fill their card with all the stamps, they can then turn it in for a spin on the prize wheel! Stations will include: BullEx fire extinguisher training, firefighter relays, water relays, smoked up dorm room, and the day will end with a sprinkler/non-sprinkler dorm room fire!

Students feel the effects of fire within a room, with heat rising toward the ceiling. Students were then instructed to kneel, while the fire began to move across the ceiling.

Students, feeling the heat from a fire, learn the importance of a timely evacuation.

Director Ferrara, a twenty-eight year veteran of the fire service and past Chief of the Lyndhurst Fire Department, in New Jersey, first learned of this program while attending an annual conference held by the Center for Campus Fire Safety, for whom he currently serves as a member of the Board of Directors. "The University of Colorado, Boulder, first introduced me to this program; from the first I heard of it, I thought ‘I have to bring this [program] back to Montclair [State University].’ My Department and the staff at the [BCLPSI] toiled to make this program a reality in New Jersey.

If you would like more information about this program or would like to speak with Robert Ferrara, please contact him at 973-655-5401 or ferrarar@mail.montclair.edu

In an effort to teach their resident students the dangers that fires pose, Montclair State University’s Department of Fire Safety partnered with the Bergen County Law and Public Safety Institute (henceforth, referred to as BCLPSI) to offer students a unique experience in fire prevention: The University’s first annual Community Assistant Fire Academy was held at the BCLPSI on August 7, 2012. After an hour of morning lecture, which included instruction in fire prevention practices and fire ground safety, the University’s Community Assistants headed out to the BCLPSI’s drill facility for a day full of fun and educational activities. The BCLPSI’s Life Safety Complex, a three story building that houses several state of the art, propane burning, live fire training simulators, was the focal point of the training initiative.

University of Oklahoma
Norman Campus 

Justin Daniels, Fire Inspector at the University of Oklahoma created and helped distribute this fire safety flier to every student living in the dorms in their new students packets which are in their rooms when they arrive on campus.  A poster version is displayed on every floor in every residence hall to start the school year.  The flier is being translated into several languages!

 During Campus Fire Safety Month, Justin designed a t-shirt to be distributed to students, faculty, and staff all across campus.  Everyone will wear their shirts on Thursday 10/11/12 in support of campus fire prevention awareness.  Every t-shirt has the department names that sponsored the shirt in support of fire prevention.  Participants include Fitness & Recreation, Residence Life, Printing Services, and Human Resources. The idea is that everyone is part of the Fire Prevention Team on the campus.  SimplexGrinnell also donated money to allow more shirts for distribution. 

On Thursday 10/11/12 the University of Oklahoma will have 600 people walking around campus in the new fire prevention t-shirts!! The program will continue to grow as more departments become involved!
