35 Charles Mandatory Fire Drill

Please be advised a mandatory fire drill will be conducted at 35 Charles Street West on Wednesday May 21st, 2025, starting at approximately 10am. An announcement will be made during the commencement of this drill.

Residents will be asked to exit their units and descend the nearest stairwell safely.
The building fire alarm system will typically sound for up to 15 minutes.

During fire drills, the U of T Fire Prevention and the UFH Operations team assesses the readiness of the fire alarm systems and emergency exiting provisions. The purpose of a mandatory evacuation fire drill is to practice the emergency evacuation procedures as though a real fire emergency is taking place.

Everyone’s participation is critical to test each building’s evacuation procedures and exiting, as well as identify and address potential issues under full occupancy conditions.
