DO FIRE DRILL
A fire drill is a pre-planned rehearsal designed to test the fire alarm system and evacuation procedures. Before perform-
ing a fire drill, always notify the central monitoring station and/or fire department to ensure that the alarm report was ac-
tually received and to avoid an unintentional response by fire personnel. Ensure that all devices (such as bells, strobes,
horns and sirens) that activate during a real emergency also activate during the fire drills in order to familiarize occu-
pants with the alarm signals they would expect during a real emergency.
To initiate a fire drill:
1. Notify the central monitoring station and/or fire department.
