Law School Fire Safety Program

The Law School Fire Safety Program is coordinated by the Department of Public Safety. The department ensures that Fire Safety Program functions are completed, and that Seton Hall fire safety policy and procedures are reviewed and updated as needed.

Fire Prevention Measures

  • Do not accumulate discarded files or other paper trash in your office or storage area.
  • The storage of flammable solvents or other flammable liquids is prohibited. Duplicating fluids, etc. must be approved by the Fire Official.
  • Keep electrical equipment in good repair.
  • Keep all means of exit clear.
  • Keep outlets and plugs clear of debris.
  • Seton Hall Law School is a smoke-free building.
  • The lighting of candles is prohibited.

In the Event of Fire or Fire Alarm Activation

  • All occupants must exit the building within three minutes. This is required by the New Jersey State Fire Code and subject to fines as proscribed by law.
  • React immediately. On your way to the nearest exit, alert all others in the immediate area to exit as well.
  • If needed, send an alarm to the fire alarm system by using the manual pull stations located adjacent to all floors and building exits. This will automatically notify the fire department.
  • Close the office door when you depart.
  • Immediately evacuate the floor using the stairwells. Do not try to use elevators. Elevators are automatically recalled to the first floor.
  • Do not go to your office/locker to retrieve coats, briefcase, or pocketbooks.
  • Remain calm. Walk, do not run, and keep low in case of smoke.
  • Proceed down the stairs/ramp to the ground floor and exit the building.
  • It is important to clear the entryways to the building so that emergency personnel can have access.
  • Regroup outside away from the building. In the case of a fire alarm, those exiting from the main front entrance should proceed down Raymond Boulevard towards Mulberry Street. Those exiting from the Clinic entrance and/or the rear north lawn gate should proceed north on Route 21 towards NJPAC. Do not cross Raymond Blvd.
