Setting fires, tampering with fire fighting equipment, fire-alarms systems, fire protection sprinklers, or smoke detectors, turning in false alarms, making a bomb threat, refusing to evacuate during a fire alarm, or committing any other act that interferes with fire safety, are serious offenses under Massachusetts law and MIT regulations, and can result in severe disciplinary action. The use of flammable decorations, including natural evergreens, in any room, corridor, stairwell, lounge, dining hall, lobby and other public areas is prohibited by Massachusetts fire laws. The use of non-flammable decorations must be approved. No objects may be placed in any exit or on fire escapes. Use of fireplaces needs to comply with MIT guidelines.
