Notice of the Annual Fire Safety Report

Texas Tech University publishes the Fire Safety Report for Texas Tech University Lubbock campus as part of its annual compliance with the Clery Act and the Campus Fire Safety Right-to-Know Act. The Acts require colleges and universities with on-campus housing facilities to compile an annual fire safety report which gives students, parents and the public current information about fires in on-campus housing. Universities are also required to maintain a public fire log which captures specific information about fires occurring in on-campus housing.

The report contains statistics about the number of fires in on-campus housing for the 2022, 2023 and 2024 calendar years. The description and cause of the fire and the estimated dollar amount of damages for each fire included follow the classifications used by the U.S. Department of Education. The report also includes a description of fire systems, the number of fire drills, evacuation procedures, education and training programs, future plans for fire safety improvements, and the institution's policies on appliances, smoking, open flames, and other potential hazards.

The Annual Fire Safety Report is distributed electronically within the Annual Security Report to all current faculty, staff, and students through email and TechAnnounce. The Annual Security and Fire Safety Report is made available online to all prospective students and employees via the Admissions website and the Human Resources page.

Copies of this report may be obtained in person or by contacting the Texas Tech Fire Marshal at 806-742-0146, the Texas Tech Police Department at 806-742-3931, or University Student Housing at 806-742-2661 during normal business hours, 8:00 A.M. - 5:00 P.M., Monday through Friday.
