Life Safety/Fire Safety
The University of Toledo Fire and Life Safety Program operates out of the Facilities and Construction department. Within this department there are three full-time life safety technicians. The life safety technicians ensure that all fire code violations are corrected in a timely manner. They maintain all suppression systems throughout the University campus. These include: fire pumps, fire extinguishers, chemical suppression hoods, halon or inergen systems and sprinkler systems. They also oversee the work of any outside contractors that modify or repair University fire systems. In addition, the life safety technicians maintain all the University's fire detection systems to code. These include: fire alarms, smoke detectors, pull stations, horns and strobes and also adjust the time settings campus wide for all of the University's automatic electric clocks (from daylight savings to eastern standard and back) and make any repairs to the clocks as necessary. For more information about Fire and Life Safety at the University call 419-530-3607.
