Many studies show that people carry out activities not directly connected with the evacuation after hearing a fire alarm. In this study we analyze the behavior of two groups of students in a Faculty of Engineering, following the activation of a fire alarm. The study shows that in these types of buildings, due to the fact that students are involved in activities with electronic devices, “pre-movement times” are very high and are strongly influenced by users’ attachment to their belongings. In particular this study allows the distribution of pre-movement time and the speed of people during the evacuation to be calculated.
