Fire safety report
The report outlines information on fire trainings, fire drills, evacuation procedures and fire safety-related policies, particularly related to on-campus residential facilities. It also notes that UM received a fire safety score of 92 out of 99 from the Princeton Review.
Each residential facility has a full sprinkler system as well as two fire drills each year. It also states UM has plans to upgrade to fire-related safety systems, including fire pumps, fire alarm panels and automatic fire sprinkler systems.
There were seven total fires from 2022 to 2024 in residential facilities.

In total, three of the fires were caused by electrical failure, two by cooking equipment, and one fire each by electrical equipment failure, machinery, arson and smoking. Five of the fires resulted in $100-$999 of property damage, while the other three had no reported monetary property damage.
One of the fires in Mahoney last year resulted in a portion of students being temporarily relocated to the THesis hotel due to subsequent damage from water sprinklers.
“While the downward trend in incidents is encouraging, we remain committed to refining our strategies, strengthening community outreach, and investing in resources that help ensure the University of Miami remains a safe place to learn, live, and work,” the University said in a statement to The Hurricane.
In any emergency situation on campus, UM advises calling 911 first and then alerting UM. The last page of the report includes contact information for specific types of incidents.
“The University of Miami Police Department continues to strengthen campus safety through evidence‑based programs, upgraded security technologies, expanded emergency preparedness training, and close collaboration with campus departments and local law enforcement.
