If it’s after hours or on the weekends we can send the OE to change the battery. If there is fire or smoke then we call PFD, send two officer’s and the OE’s.

The fire department on all fire alarms.

On campus, the Safety department is responsible for going through the building each hour. For BU properties managed by Off Campus Properties, Off Campus Properties is the responsible entity.
