The University of Waterloo's campus-wide Fire Safety Program encompasses all aspects of fire and life safety. We work with Waterloo Fire Rescue to promote fire safety on campus. All members of the University community are responsible for reporting hazards and following evacuation procedures.
Fire and evacuation procedures are outlined on Emergency Procedure Posters located throughout campus in locations such as:
Fire wardens are responsible for assisting with building evacuations and can be identified by red fire warden hats. The University conducts fire drills in accordance with the Ontario Fire Code to ensure building occupants understand the procedures and that all building systems work properly.
In non-fire situations threatening safety like building service interruption or hazardous materials spills, buildings are evacuated under the direction of the University of Waterloo Special Constable Service, fire wardens and emergency response services. Do not use fire alarms to evacuate buildings without approval.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
