More resources to share with your community Tips to share: On-campus housing: Cook only where it is permitted. Never disable or remove batteries from smoke alarms. Find the 2 closest exits from your room. Off-campus housing: Never sign a lease until you have seen the apartment or housing. Make sure there are working smoke alarms in every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the rental. Do the upper levels of the building have at least 2 sets of stairs inside and/or a fire escape?

Fatalities reported in 2025 ![](https://www.usfa.fema.gov/img/photos/student-parents-1800w.jpg) ## College Campus Fire Safety For most college students, the last time they learned about fire safety was in grade school, but with new independence come new responsibilities. Both off-campus and on-campus students need to be aware of their fire risks and how to mitigate them. [More resources to share with your community](https://www.usfa.fema.gov/prevention/home-fires/at-risk-audiences/college-students/) Tips to share: On-campus housing: - Cook only where it is permitted. - Never disable or remove batteries from smoke alarms. - Find the 2 closest exits from your room. Off-campus housing: - Never sign a lease until you have seen the apartment or housing. - Make sure there are working smoke alarms in every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the rental. - Do the upper levels of the building have at least 2 sets of stairs inside and/or a fire escape? ## Community Risk Reduction ### Pool and Swimming Safety Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death among children ages 1-4. Summer outings often include time spent around water. Drownings happen quickly and are often silent. Fire departments can help get pool and swimming safety messages out to their communities to prevent these tragedies.
