Fire Safety
Our Mission
This area is responsible for the day to day fire safety of 43 buildings on the ΞΆΓάΘ¦ campus. We also oversee all fire safety inspections and questions or concerns relative to the new Rhode Island Fire Safety Code. Our campus rests in Providence and North Providence and the Providence Fire Department responds to all box alarms on campus.
