LOCAL FIRE
INFORMATION
Local fire information is provided by UCL Fire Action
Notices (and in some buildings, by supplementary
instructions) that are provided throughout the premises
at Fire Alarm Manual Call Points & Fire Equipment
Points.
RELEVANT
INFORMATION
The Rockefeller & Medical School Buildings forms part of three
interconnecting 6-storey buildings that all sit over a substantial
Basement Boiler House. The Rockefeller and Medical School
buildings date from 1907 where they formed the UCL Hospital
Nurses Home, Matron’s House and the Medical School complex.
All three premises have basement; ground, first to sixth floors with
various roof plant facilities, as well as interlinking tunnels to
adjoining premises - they are treated as a single premise for fire
alarm purposes. The Rockefeller Boiler House is situated below
all three buildings and is separate for fire alarm purposes, but with
specific arrangements for fire evacuation and warning to the
buildings above. The Rockefeller Building has a complex layout
over various levels with numerous internal stairs and convoluted
escape routes with access to the adjoining Medical School,
Rockefeller Boiler House and Cruciform & Medical Sciences
Buildings (via under road tunnels). The Medical School Building
has a simpler layout with access to the adjoining Paul O’Gorman
and Cruciform Buildings (via under road tunnels).

call point, or as per the premises fire action notices.
CALLING THE
FIRE BRIGADE

assist in identifying the premises, which is shown on the UCL Fire
Action Notices).
This building’s fire alarm system is monitored on a 24-hour basis by
the UCL Security Control Room who will summon the Fire Brigade.
However, you should always make an Emergency Telephone call
(Ext: ‘222’) to raise the alarm.

ALARM
On hearing the fire alarm, immediately leave the building by the
nearest available fire exit (this may not necessarily be the way
you entered the building).
THE FIRE

alarm system. Which when activated, emits a continuous electronic
two-tone alarm throughout the building.
(2). Automatic Fire Detection (AFD) – smoke & heat detecting
devices are provided for early warning to Life 2 (L2) Standard.
(3). Fire alarm ‘Manual Call Points’ are found on routes leading from
the building (including corridors, landings, staircases & final exits).
EVACUATION
PROCEDURE
On hearing the alarm or being directed by a Fire Evacuation Marshal
(FEM), all occupants are to evacuate the building by the nearest
available escape stair, corridor or exit route to the Final Exit. If
your escape route is blocked or obstructed by fire or smoke, you
should turn your back on the fire and follow the alternative route from
the building by following the green safe condition fire safety
direction signage provided.
FIRE
ASSEMBLY
POINT
On leaving the building you should proceed to the Fire Assembly
Point; the location of the Fire Assembly Point(s) is indicated on the
local Fire Action Notices provided, which may also be supplemented
with additional information such as local escape route plans etc. Do
not obstruct the building entrances as this may hinder access to
the fire brigade crews & appliances. Beware of the road traffic and
your and others safety during the evacuation!

appropriate fire extinguisher on the correct type fire. Do not use
water on electrical or flammable liquid fires!
FIRE
EVACUATION
MARSHALS
(FEMS)
Due to the size and complexity of UCL, it is neither practical nor
feasible to maintain a meaningful register of building occupants to
account for those persons using premises during normal working
hours. It is UCL policy that all Heads of Departments shall
designate sufficient staff to act as Fire Evacuation Marshals
(FEMs), who in the event of a fire or incident will check their areas of
responsibility. FEMs will request politely but firmly that all staff,
students and visitors evacuate the building immediately by the
nearest available fire exit route, they may assist with Disabled
Persons and liaise with the Fire Brigade, as necessary.
SENIOR FIRE
EVACUATION
MARSHAL
(SFEM)
The Head of Department must appoint a suitable member of staff in
each building that the Department occupies, to become a Senior Fire
Evacuation Marshal (SFEM) to:
(1). liaise (if a multi-occupied building) with other SFEMs to ensure
assistance to the Fire Brigade, Duty Security and Estates staff during
normal working hours etc,
(2). co-ordinate the Departmental FEMs, or others such as the
Landlord’s agents and/or other occupiers as necessary,
(3). provide specialist information to the Fire Brigade and the Local
Authorities on any specific hazards related to the premises;
particularly, where there are laboratories or hazardous substances or
processes used etc,
(4). identify themselves to the Fire Brigade and other persons in
authority by wearing a Surcoat or by a coloured safety helmet (Red)
or some other distinguishing marker,
(5). be self-reliant when dealing with a fire incident at the premises.
Therefore, it is important that SFEMs meet the Fire Brigade on arrival
at the building entrance to ensure that they give all reasonable
assistance to the Senior Fire Brigade Officer in attendance.
HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCES
Hazardous substances are used on the premises. Fire Brigade
Contingency Plans contain general information on the hazardous
materials that may be found on the premises.
