It is important we make you aware that from 1st July, the Fire Service will no longer respond to calls originating from Automatic Fire Alarm (AFA) systems. This will affect all premises on campus, except for our residential buildings – the fire brigade will continue to respond to calls from Halls of Residence as normal. Our Security Services Team will receive all notifications from non-residential buildings.
You can find more information about these changes on the Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service website.
How Will This Affect Students on Campus?
In the event of a fire alarm activation, your priority remains the same: to evacuate yourself from the building.
If you see or suspect a potential fire:
- Raise the alarm by activating the fire alarm
- Evacuate via the nearest possible escape route
- Contact the fire service using the SafeZone app or by dialling 999
- Inform Security of the situation when they arrive to investigate If you have any questions about the changes or fire safety in general, please get in touch.
Thank you for your cooperation.
The Health & Safety Team
