Public Safety and Facilities Announcements
Fire System at the Music Building
The following information has been emailed to tenants in the Music Building and signs have been posted at building entrances.
The Department of Public Safety would like you to be aware of a problem with the fire system in the Music Building. Due to a problem with the control panel for the fire system, the horns and strobes in the building are not working. The sensors in the building ARE working correctly and the Fire Department and DPS will be notified of any alarms. However, the horns and strobes in the building will NOT activate in the event of an alarm.
Facilities Management is coordinating repairs to the system and Public Safety is prepared to manually evacuate the building if needed. The Fire Department has been notified of the problem and will be updated on repairs.
Please review the following safety tips with your colleagues and any students you may work with.
- If you encounter a fire, pull the fire alarm and immediately exit the building. While the horns will not sound, it will summon the fire department. Call DPS at 1717 only after you have pulled the alarm and exited the building.
- If a DPS officer or fire fighter tells you to evacuate, leave immediately. Don't return to your office or stop to call others.
- While evacuating, instruct anyone you see to leave the building also. Keep moving, it is not your job to stay and see that they leave.
- Remain outside of the building until a DPS officer or firefighter says you can return.
- If you are working late or believe you are alone in the building, please call 1717 and let us know where you are. If we do need to evacuate the building, it will help us to know where you are.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. DPS and Facilities will send updates and more information becomes available.

As in the past, we will have three shifts: 9-1, 1-5 and 5-9; we need two people to work each shift, because the booth can never be left unattended. So, I'll be filling the shifts, first-come, first-served. Working at the fair has gotten quite popular over the last few years, so hurry! You may feel free to ask a student or an alum to work with you. We are pleased again this year to supply you with a very nice Auggie polo and free admission to the fair (you will need to provide your own transportation).
You may either call me at ext. 1525 or send me an E-mail to daniels@augsburg.edu
