The UPEI community is asked to be aware of mulch fires on campus during the summertime, when weather is especially dry and warm. Although small mulch fires are easily extinguished if noticed, an unchecked fire can spread rapidly to shrubbery and structures, endangering campus buildings, and more importantly, people. We ask that you please take care and be cautious when discarding cigarettes. Please use the proper fire-proof receptacles located on campus to dispose of cigarettes as this will help to reduce mulch fires on campus grounds. If you notice a mulch fire, please contact UPEI Security immediately at 566-0384. Thank you for your cooperation, UPEI Facilities Management
