Fire Equipment Regulations

Because it is important that fire and safety equipment function properly when needed, the following acts are prohibited:

1. Tampering or playing with fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, fire alarm pull stations, exit signs, or emergency lights.
2. Removing smoke detector batteries or otherwise rendering a smoke detector inoperative.
3. Disabling or tampering with fire exit doors.
4. Obstructing halls and stairwells with furniture, debris, and/or other items.

Residents who jeopardize the security and safety of any resident will be subject to severe disciplinary action. Tampering with fire equipment or acts of arson can result in civil prosecution, disciplinary measures, and/or possible fines.
