To all the international students:

Recently, the Security Office of HUST has made a spot check on dormitory fire safety, and found that many dormitories had the following fire safety hazards:

1. Some students had private connection wiring boards, and combustible materials were piled up beside the socket, easy to cause the fire.

2. Some students privately changed the dormitory used for kitchen purposes;

3. Intentionally wrap up or damage firefighting equipment, including the smoke sensors.

4. Use high-power electrical appliances to cause tripping.

In order to prevent fire accidents and protect life and property safety in the dormitory, all the students are required to respond to the rectification work of the fire safety hazards in the dormitory, and the following acts should not occur:

1. Intentionally damaging or moving fire-fighting or monitoring equipment without authorization is prohibited, including behaviors such as intentionally damaging or covering the smoke sensors;

2. Reserve or use of flammable, explosive, corrosive, toxic substances and alcohol furnace, gas, and other hazardous materials as well as illegal electronics equipment are forbidden;

3. Use of open fire, private wire pulling, or embezzlement of public power is strictly prohibited;

4. The fire-fighting access and public area shall not be occupied.

Friendly Reminder:

1. International students should have a room self-check on the fire safety hazard after receiving the notice;

2. International students should cook in designated areas;

3. The students should purchase and use the wiring board and the charger in compliance with safety standards. The old equipment should be replaced in time;

4. Unplug the charger immediately after the mobile phone fills the electricity;

5. Wiring boards and the chargers in service can’t be covered, and no combustible materials are stacked beside them.

Each apartment will regularly check the students' rooms. If there are any irregularities, the apartment will directly issue a SAFETY WARNING NOTICE to the student. Where any violation of the regulations is still not corrected, the student will be disqualified from accommodation in the apartment, and also be subject to disciplinary action.
