College Residence Advisors receive training in fire safety and prevention
MARCY, N.Y. (WKTV) - It's just two weeks before college students return to classes, and Residence Advisors, or RAs, received some hands-on training in fire safety and prevention.
This program was held for RAs from SUNYIT, Mohawk Valley Community College and the Pratt Institute at Munson Williams on Tuesday. It's an in effort to prevent a disaster from happening, as well as inform students of fire dangers. "We stress to them what shouldn't be hanging, you know, the fabric that students like to be hanging on the walls," said SUNYIT Assistant Director of Ras Meka Harris. "It's just to give them the overall understanding that these are the things you need to look for. These are the things you need to tell the students. How you save yourself and the fellow student if a fire breaks out." Most students will move into dorms this weekend for the start of classes next week. |
