Mandatory Fire Drill

30 and 35 Charles Street West | Tuesday, October 14 | 10:00am – 12:00pm

Please be advised a mandatory Fire Drill will be conducted at 30 and 35 Charles Street West on Tuesday, October 14, 2025 between 10am and 12pm. 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.

UFH Operations and U of T Fire Prevention staff will be positioned outside and will help guide residents away from fire exits and toward the courtyard and podium areas. We ask that you do not cross the street into the other buildings podium area during this drill.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
