The fire equipment in and about the Yard is in a condition to fully cope with any needs which may arise. Four fire boxes are placed at convenient intervals around the various buildings and students discovering any signs of fire should notify the Cambridge Fire Department by means of these boxes immediately. Box number 454 is situated behind University Hall, box 48 is in front of Memorial, box 512 is on Church street and box 472 on Massachusetts avenue, opposite Bow street. In addition and as a further preventative to fire the University has installed an excellent system of automatic fire sprinklers in the basement of all the Yard dormitories, fire extinguishers are hung in all the entries, and various apparatus such as ladders, hose, and axes are placed in a closet in the back of University Hall.
