Generally
Of course, no two fires are the same and it depends on the circumstances how you should act in each individual case. Still, learn the basic rule:
SAFE – WARN – ALARM – EXTINGUISH
- Save yourself and others in your vicinity, but don't take too many risks yourself.
- Warn others who may be in danger.
- Alert the emergency services by calling 112.
- Extinguish the fire if possible.
Evacuation alarm in case of fire
Evacuation alarms in case of fire are triggered via smoke detectors placed in escape routes, technical spaces and in spaces where many people gather. Triggered alarm, i.e. signal to evacuate, given via bell and red flashing lights throughout the house.
Triggered alarms go to Akademiska Hus.
Fires that cannot be extinguished with deployed hand fire extinguishers must be alerted via telephone 112. Limit the source of the fire by closing windows and doors.
You can manually trigger the evacuation alarm using push buttons in connection with the escape routes.
Sprinkler
The building is equipped with a comprehensive water sprinkler system.
Triggered sprinkler alarms go directly to Akademiska Hus.
Evacuation
See evacuation plans in corridors.
The stairwells form independent escape routes. Two stairwells can be reached from each workplace. The escape routes, which are marked with green, luminous escape signs, must never be blocked. The green signs are always lit and have a battery backup to illuminate even in the event of a power cut.
If the fire alarm is triggered, all personnel must leave the building, close all doors behind them and gather at the assembly point (See the respective evacuation plan). The staff register there with the Defense Academy's evacuation receiver and leave their name and group affiliation or the equivalent. No one may depart from the assembly point until this is done.

There are rescue stations in corridors on each floor. There is:
- first aid
