As part of the federal Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEA), the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (鈥淐lery Act鈥�) requires U.S. educational institutions with student housing to produce an annual Fire Safety Report outlining fire safety practices, standards, and all fire related on-campus statistics. The following public report details fire disclosure and fire safety information required by this law as it relates to University Housing at UU直播-Dominguez Hills. This report is created annually and published by the Clery Director at Dominguez Hills. Fire statistics for the calendar years 2022, 2023, and 2024 are listed at the end of this report.聽

All Resident Assistants (RAs) and professional staff are trained in proper fire safety and evacuation procedures. Designated professional housing staff are also trained and responsible for regularly checking all smoke detectors and fire extinguishers located throughout the residence hall building and in each student apartment in order to ensure that the equipment is fully functional. Inspections are scheduled on a monthly basis. At least once a year, RAs undergo mandatory training where proper fire evacuation procedures are discussed and reviewed. Student's living in the residence hall are also trained on fire safety and evcuation policies and procedures. They must read and adhere to the policies and procedures that are shared with them.

Fire drills will be conducted in accordance with state and local regulations and in collaboration with the local fire and/or police personnel. Emergency response and evacuation procedures are tested each year. Typically, University Housing will conduct two fire drill exercises each semester where residents can practice procedures and better familiarize themselves with the locations of all building and apartment exits and emergency alert signals. Drills may be announced in advance or unannounced, but are usually unannounced to better simulate an emergency experience. Residents with disabilities or those who are unable to wake up to sounding alarms should notify University Housing staff in advance of any special assistance needs.

All persons are required to evacuate the building at any time there is a fire or notification of a fire and follow evacuation instructions given by the UHS staff. During an evacuation, UHS staff may enter individual units to verify evacuation. No person is allowed to re-enter the building during an evacuation until approved by UHS staff or emergency personnel. The designated assembly area for the apartments is the center circle in Phase I of Housing (Building ID 70 on the Campus Map). The designated assembly areas for the residence hall (Building ID 72 on the Campus Map) are the basketball court located on the eastern side of the building and the campus walkway located on the western side of the building.

铀� IF YOU DISCOVER FIRE OR SEE SMOKE: Evacuate or move away from the affected area as quickly and safely as possible and proceed to a safe area at least 300 feet away. Call CSUDH University Police at (310) 243-3333, or dial 911, from your cell phone or directly from a Blue Light emergency phone. Please make sure to identify yourself and report the following:

o Location of the Building (using the letter of the Alphabet assigned to that Building, if applicable)
o The room/location of the fire.
o Type of fire if you know.
o The presence of smoke or flame.
o Smoke odor.

铀� SHOULD YOU BECOME TRAPPED INSIDE A BUILDING DURING A FIRE: If possible, call CSUDH University Police at (310) 243-3333, or dial 911, and notify them of your identity and location; tell them you need assistance getting out of the building. Stay near a window and close to the floor and signal for help if possible, using hands or a sheet out the window to signal rescuers. If possible, seal up cracks around nearby doors with sheets or clothing.

铀� FOR MINOR FIRES such as smoke in a waste basket, you can locate the nearest fire extinguisher and:

o P: PULL the safety pin from the handle of the fire extinguisher.
o A: AIM the nozzle at the base of the fire.
o S: SQUEEZE the trigger handle.
o S: SWEEP from side to side and watch for re-flashes.

Please be sure to notify University Police of what occurred, regardless of whether the fire or smoke condition has been extinguished.

The CSUDH University Police Department maintains a Crime Log and Fire Log, in compliance with the Clery Act, which mandates that the University publish information about reported crime and certain fires within the department鈥檚 patrol jurisdiction and on CSUDH on-campus, non-campus, and public property, as defined by the Act. The fire log contains information on any fires occurring in an on-campus student housing facility within the past three years and the log is open to public inspection, upon request, during normal business hours.

In most cases, if a fire occurs on campus within student housing, University Police and/or University Housing staff will already be aware as they are often the first responders to these incidents. However, in cases when it is unknown or unclear if a fire in University Housing has been reported to University Police, students or employees who are aware of an occurrence should report the fire to University Police as soon as possible. The University Police station is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and is located at 1000 E Victoria St, Welch Hall B100, Carson, CA 90747. The station is located at the northwest corner of Welch Hall on the first floor. You can reach University Police at 310-243-3639 (dispatch/nonemergency) or 310-243-3333 (emergency line).

Please note, fires and crimes can be reported by anyone, regardless of the individual鈥檚 association with CSUDH. If you have any questions or concerns related to the fire log or fire safety within student housing, please contact the CSUDH University Police Chief using the contact information provided above or contact the Director of University Housing in Building X or by phone at (310) 243-2282.

To ensure best practices are employed to further protect students, employees and property, the University Housing Staff is continuing to review and enhance all relevant fire safety policies and procedures. Housing staff and leadership intend to collaborate with our campus safety and emergency preparedness partners, including, but not limited to, CSUDH University Police, Carson Fire Department, California State Fire Marshall Officials, as well as our residents, to increase our fire safety awareness and training moving forward. Floor warden training for both professional and student staff, as well as emergency evacuation chair training for all staff are current priorities. At this time there are no current plans for future improvements but that can change at any given time. Students, employees, guests, or other individuals who have ideas for improvements or other suggestions are encouraged to talk with any of our professional or student staff members in person or email our department at housing@csudh.edu.

CSUDH University Housing retains statistics for reported fires in on-campus student housing facilities. Fire statistical categories are provided in accordance with the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education鈥檚 Handbook for Campus Safety and Security Reporting, 2016 Edition which offers the following definitions the University has referenced:

铀� A fire, for the purposes of the HEA, is any instance of open flame or other burning in a place not intended to contain the burning or in an uncontrolled manner.

铀� 鈥�Cause of fire鈥� is defined as the factor or factors that give rise to a fire. The causal factor may be, but is not limited to, the result of an intentional or unintentional action, mechanical failure, or act of nature.

铀� A 鈥�fire-related injury鈥� is defined as any instance in which a person is injured because of a fire, including an injury sustained from a natural or accidental cause, while involved in fire control, attempting rescue, or escaping from the dangers of the fire. The term 鈥減erson鈥� may include students, employees, visitors, firefighters, or any other individuals.

铀� 鈥�Value of property damage鈥� is defined as the estimated value of the loss of the structure and contents, in terms of the cost of replacement in like kind and quantity. This estimate should include contents damaged by fire, and related damages caused by smoke, water, and overhaul; however, it does not include indirect loss, such as business interruption.
