Fire Drills

Firefighters offer hands on safety education for students.
School districts hold practice fire drills to keep the students and staff familiar with the fire safety procedure. Teachers grab the attendance chart before exiting to perform a roll call once students reach the outdoor meeting area.

Fire safety procedures call for exit plans from different areas in the building. Such a contingency plans aids student safety when a fire alarm is sounded during lunch or gym class, and the building must be exited.

Evacuation Plans

Fire spreads quickly, even with modern sprinkler systems.
Evacuation plans are important should a fire or emergency occur during the changing of classes. Students must know where to meet. Once students reach the meeting spot, staff can check names to make sure everyone is out of the school.
