Dear Resident,

Welcome to the start of Spring Semester at Miami! This is just a friendly reminder regarding the fire suppression sprinkler heads located in your room. Please remember that these sprinkler heads are for your safety by extinguishing a fire should one occur. These heads are under significant water pressure and are capable of discharging hundreds of gallons of water per minute. Therefore, please do your part to ensure that nothing obstructs or prevents the sprinkler head from operating properly should an emergency occur. Specifically, this includes not using the sprinkler head as a “hook” on which to string holiday lights, hangers, clothing, hats or any other item.

Please be aware that setting off the sprinkler head due to a person’s inappropriate use or horseplay may result in university discipline in addition to being held financially responsible for associated repairs, damages and flood water clean-up.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact your residence hall director.

Best,

Campus Services Center
