Your active participation is vital for safety readiness. A Fire and Evacuation Drill at ULAB Campus will be held on any day between 19 April and 23 April 2026. Please note the following details:

Fire and Evacuation Drill Notice - Spring 2026

In support of the ULAB Fire Safety Plan, we will be conducting a semi-announced Fire and Evacuation Drill for all ULABians:

  • WHEN: Any day between 19 April and 23 April, between 10:00 am and 05:00 pm.
  • WHERE: Buildings A, B, C & D at the ULAB Permanent Campus.
  • WHY: As a residential community of 5000+ people, we must:

o   Identify fire risks from wooden frame structures, forested surroundings, and electrical short circuits.

o   Recognize that the nearest Fire Station (Mohammadpur) is approximately 3 km away, with a minimum 20-minute response time.

o   Ensure fire and emergency preparedness as a fundamental component of our Safety Plan.

o   Prioritize personal safety and security.

Please participate in the drill-it will prepare you for an actual fire and may even save your life.

Note: Fire alarm will ring for approximately 3 minutes during the drill.

General Guidelines

When the fire alarm sounds, all occupants are requested to:

  • TURN OFF electrical switches, stove/oven, ACs, and other appliances that may pose fire hazards.
  • CLOSE WINDOWS.
  • CLOSE THE DOOR of your room (leave unlocked for firefighter access).
  • LEAVE THE BUILDING by the nearest exit (do not use elevators).
  • ASSIST persons needing special attention; elevators may be used until declared non-operational.
  • CALL OUT to neighbors that the fire drill evacuation is in process.
  • GO TO your respective ASSEMBLY POINT (see sketch below).
  • CHECK IN with the Fire/Evacuation Drill representative at the Assembly Point.
  • DO NOT re-enter the building until 'All Clear' is declared.

Once outside:
