Do not interfere with fire equipment except in the case of emergency. Interference with fire
equipment is considered a major offence within the Rural Health Academic Centre (please refer to
the Disciplinary Policy section of this guide for further information). Please take care not to activate
smoke detectors. Please take time to familiarise yourself with the location of fire blankets and
extinguishers and also the emergency exit plan for your accommodation which is posted in each
bedroom and on pinboards throughout the accommodation.
Fire Safety
Candles and incense must not be burnt in bedrooms as they are a fire risk and can trigger the fire/
smoke detectors. The student responsible will be liable for the CFA callout charge. Students are not
permited to hang anything from sprinkler fixtures as they may malfunction causing water damage
which will be invoiced to the student.

Fire Wardens
Residential Student Advisors (RSA’s) will be trained and act as Fire Wardens in case of fire or other
emergency. All residents may at times have a role to play in an emergency and should be prepared
to take the role of the Fire Warden if required. Upon the fire alarms sounding occupants must
evacuate the building immediately. You must obey the instructions of the fire warden wearing the
Yellow/White hat. Fire Warden hats (yellow) are supplied in each residence. RSA’s will be trained
by the University of Melbourne as Fire Wardens shortly after commencement.
