Fire Prevention
Each trainee is responsible for fire prevention. If you notice a potential fire hazard report it to your MTI or Charge of Quarters (CQ) immediately.
Emergency Evacuation Procedures
Follow these procedures during an evacuation:
- Put on hard sole shoes (no shower shoes)
- If you are undressed, quickly wrap a blanket around yourself
- Remain silent and evacuate the dormitory in a single file line through the nearest exit
- Use the handrails and stay on the right side of the stairwell. If two or more flights are evacuating at the same time use both sides of the stairwell
- Follow the other trainees evacuating until you are given further instructions
General Policies
- Do not horseplay or run inside dormitory
- Do not damage the dormitory or its contents
- Report any damage or safety hazards to your MTI immediately
- Report all accidents regardless of how minor they are
- If an accident occurs that could result in possible head, neck or back injury, follow these guidelines:
- Do not move the victim as you may aggravate the injury
- If someone else is available, send them for help
- If you are injured and alone, call for help
Heat Related Injuries or Medical Conditions Arising From Prolonged Strenuous Exercise
Because of the high temperature and humidity in South Texas, take extra precautions to avoid the possibility of heat- related injuries.
If you have ever suffered from dehydration, heat exhaustion or heat stroke or suffered from any medical conditions arising from prolonged strenuous exercise, inform your MTI immediately. You will be referred to an Independent Duty Medical Technician (IDMT).
