To All:

We were recently notified that unannounced fire drills will be taking place on campus.  In our new laboratory rooms, we have both emergency gas shut-off valves near the hallway doors and electricty shut-off buttons.  If a fire drill occurs while we are in the laboratory, is it recommended that we shut off the gas and/or electricity to the labs as we exit?  One of my colleagues raised the question and I thought one of you would know what would be considered best practice.
