POTSDAM -- A mock dorm burn and fire extinguisher training were part of Clarkson’s annual safety and security week Sept. 10-12.
The events are aimed at educating the student body on fire safety.
Over a three-day period, more than 1,000 students and staff were trained by NYS Office of Fire Protection & Control on how to use a fire extinguisher.
The training is required for all students who live in a university-apartment style house or are a part of Greek Life. All students and staff are required to complete a fire safety training on Moodle as well.
Several students also attended a vehicle-extrication with the help of the Potsdam Volunteer Fire Department. And around 200 students watched as firefighters held a mock dorm burn.
