All fire alarms are investigated by the Fire Marshal to determine the cause and to prevent recurrence of thealarm. A fire incidence report is completed by the Cheyney Police in Residence Halls and in academicbuildings. Reports are kept on file in the Cheyney Police Department.SMOKE DETECTORSSmoke detectors respond to both visible and invisible products of combustion and sense fire at the earliestpractical detection stage. Since the mid 1970's, when smoke detectors became widely available, there hasbeen a tremendous reduction in the number of fire deaths in the U.S. Smoke detectors are used fornumerous fire alarm functions ranging from warning occupants to automatically closing doors.LocationsResidential buildings have single station smoke detectors located in sleeping areas. Hardwired detectors arelocated in the halls and hardwired detectors are located in each student room. Detectors located in the hallsand other public areas are connected to the building alarm system. Units located in bedrooms are notconnected to the building alarms. Some smoke detectors are connected to the fire alarm system andprovide many functions such as shutting down air handler units, elevator recall, and release of magneticdoor holders. These detectors are powered by the building fire alarm power source.InspectionsAny smoke detector problems should be reported to the RD as soon as possible. The Resident Directorinspects all room smoke detectors during school closings (Thanksgiving, Winter Break, Spring, Summer).Inspections are documented and sent to the Cheyney Police Department for review. All problems are sent toOffice of Housing for repair.Hardwired smoke detectors in the Residence Halls are inspected by an outside contractor.MaintenanceIn order for smoke detectors to function properly they must be periodically cleaned and tested. Dustaccumulates in detectors over time and reduces the ability of the detector to detect smoke. Simplevacuuming on a regular cycle increases life expectancy and reliability. Hardwired smoke detectors in theResidence Halls are cleaned and tested by an outside contractor to ensure the sensing chamber and alarmcircuits function properly.AbuseMisuse, deactivation or tampering with smoke or heat detectors is prohibited. Smoke detectors must not becovered or blocked. Nothing may be attached to the wiring of hardwired detectors.WHEN A FIRE ALARM SOUNDS IN A RESIDENCE HALL31
