MU educates community on fire, active threat safety
The University of Missouri’s annual “Safe Mizzou 2019” week kicked off on Monday.
MU is hosting a series of events to help make the university’s community more aware of safety measures on campus.
Wednesday’s events include Columbia firefighters setting a replicated dorm room on fire and an active threat training course.
At 11:50 a.m. on Wednesday, Columbia firefighters will conduct a simulated burn room to demonstrate the speed of fire and how fast it can go up in flames. There will be a fire extinguisher training and an obstacle course as well. The event will be held until 2 p.m. at the Speaker’s Circle at Ninth Street and Lowry Mall.
LIVE PLAYBACK of the event can be viewed in the player below.
On Wednesday at 5:30 p.m., there will be an active threat training course that will take place in the Leadership Auditorium at the MU Student Center until 7 p.m. The course will teach students, faculty and staff how to best react and respond to a violent intruder on campus.
