The University Fire Marshal Group assists in the assessment and resolution of campus issues related to fire prevention and code enforcement.
Special Events Fire Prevention
The Fire Prevention team is committed to assisting UO departments, event planners, vendors, concessionaires, and other parties planning for and conducting graduation ceremonies, fairs, trade shows, carnivals, or other common venue events. The goal is to inform event organizers about applicable requirements of the Oregon Fire Code, guide them to achieve code compliance, and ensure that events are conducted with a reasonable level of life safety and property protection.
The University Fire Marshal Group works in conjunction with Eugene Springfield Fire Marshal's Office during the permitting and approval process. Start by submitting a Fire Special Event Fire Permit Application to the City of Eugene.
Programs and Services
The University Fire Marshal Group coordinates and maintains fire and life safety programs and services on university property.
Automated External Defibrillators (AED)
The goal of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) program is to increase the rate of survival of people who have sudden cardiac arrest. AEDs make it possible for trained responders to administer defibrillation prior to the arrival of Emergency Medical Services (EMS).
Trainings
First Aid, CPR, and AED training are available through PE and Recreation. Check for availability through the PE and Recreation Registration Portal.
Locations
At least one AED is located in all places of public assembly that have 50,000 feet or more and where at least 50 persons congregate on a normal business day. There are more than 120 AEDs on the Eugene campus. AEDs are placed in all UO Police Department vehicles which can quickly be deployed anywhere on campus. AED locations are displayed on the campus map.
Let Us Know
If you use an AED, notice one needs maintenance, or hear one chirping on campus, let us know.
Fire Inspections
Fire inspections of University of Oregon facilities are conducted by the Fire Prevention team at intervals established by the Oregon Fire Code. The purpose of these inspections is to prevent or minimize fire and life safety deficiencies that could contribute to a fire.
Fire Drills
Fire drills are the best indicator that an emergency evacuation will go smoothly and successfully. Fire drills are held to familiarize occupants with evacuation procedures and to make the response a matter of established routine. To schedule a fire drill, email UOFM@uoregon.edu.
