Fire Safety Team at Work
The fire breaks out
under the hood of a
car outside the
Campus Recreation
and Wellness
Center.
Fire Marshal’s Office Employees extinguish the fire minutes after it starts.
You never know when and where a fire may occur. Being prepared is always a major part of your job as
a Fire Marshal with the Department of Public Safety. Last week a vehicle in the parking lots alongside
the Campus Recreation and Wellness Center building caught on fire and the Department of Public Safety
responded.
The meaning of teamwork for the Department of Public Safety means having the dispatcher receive the
call and send the correct message out on the airwaves, having the Fire and Life Safety team respond once
the transmission is sent, having the Police Officer arrive on the scene to assist while the fire is being
extinguished and most of all having the campus community member call 713-743-3333 as soon as the fire
has been spotted.
If something is out of the ordinary, call UHDPS right away. Stay safe and make that call.
