Fire Drills Scheduled for 10/6/11

On Thursday 10/6, (weather permitting) GRCC will practice fire drills on the main campus and at the Tassell M-TEC.

We will be timed on evacuation of the buildings and checked for doors left opened. Take a moment to plan your best evacuation route. Please assist in moving students out and away from the buildings.
