Tell the dispatcher:<br \/>\n<UL><LI>The exact location (building and room number);<br \/>\n<LI>What&#8217;s burning; and<br \/>\n<LI>If there are people trapped or injured and if the fire has been extinguished. <\/UL><\/p>\n<p>Security will dispatch officers to the location and contact the fire department.   <\/p>\n<p>There have been cases where fires, thought to be extinguished, have rekindled.  By reporting all fires, you are turning over the responsibility of making sure the fire is out to the fire department.  <\/p>\n<p>Finally, for those with operations that require state licenses like hospitals or daycare facilities, there is a risk of losing the license if fire code laws are not followed.  <\/p>\n<p>Contact Hauser at 559-7315 for more information about fire safety.  <\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" style=\"display: none;\" title=\"jh OaTefb xK  pO\"><\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You&#8217;ve had a small fire.
