 Fire drills are conducted at the frequencies specified by the
Fire Code and involve all of the following activities and
considerations:
• The fire alarm system is activated as part of the drill
• Supervisory staff operates emergency systems and equipment as they would in the
event of an actual fire
• All supervisory staff that have specific duties identified in the fire safety plan
participate
• The fire drill runs long enough to adequately assess the expected responses of
supervisory staff and the emergency procedures relative to the scenario expectations
• The fire drill outcomes are documented, concerns are identified and corrective
measures are implemented.
• The desirable degree of occupant’s participation is taken into account.
