FIRE DRILL REQUIREMENTS

Fire drills are to be conducted on a semi-annual basis for team members of the hotel, on each
of the three work shifts. The purpose of this requirement is to provide adequate training for
ALL team members, in the event of a fire emergency within the hotel

The training shall include:

1. Demonstration of the proper evacuation routes from work areas including alternate
evacuation routes.

2. Identify designated assembly areas including alternate relocation destinations for team
members after evacuating the hotel.

3. Provide a method for supervisors to account for all team members on-duty at the time
of the evacuation.

4. Demonstrate methods to confine areas from a fire condition.

5. Identify locations of portable fire extinguishers and manual fire alarm stations.

6. Establish proper methods for team members to report a fire.


Establish an Emergency Response Team and identify their responsibilities and proper
ways to respond to an alarm condition.

8. Practice "Dry Run" exercises for individual departments and for the hotel response
teams.

9. Critique and make necessary adjustments to improve emergency responses, speed of


evacuation, and reduce confusion and uncertainty.

10. Maintain a record of each drill and evacuation exercises for each work shift.

11. Maintain a log of team members receiving required training and those participating in
emergency response team exercises.

NOTE: Fire Drills can be tailored to individual departments and do NOT require the fire alarm to be
sounded throughout the hotel for each drill. When possible, drills should be practiced with alarms
sounding.
EVACUATION PROCEDURES

 GENERAL PROCEDURES:

During an emergency and prior to the arrival of police or Fire Department, the decision to
evacuate the entire hotel, part of the hotel, or not to evacuate, will need to be made by the
senior manager on duty. The manager should consider several issues prior to making the
decision:

1. Is there a confirmed fire or heavy smoke condition?


2. Does the fire emergency pose any threat, whatsoever, to guests and/or team members?
3. Has the fire been extinguished?
4. Is there extensive damage resulting from the fire or smoke which could create risks to
evacuating guests and/or team members?

After considering all of these issues and any other factors involving personal safety, the
decision must be made to evacuate or not to evacuate.

IF THERE IS A THREAT OF INJURY OR FATALITY, EVACUATION MUST BE INITIATED


IMMEDIATELY.
Once the decision has been made to evacuate, then there is the question of who and how much of the hotel should
be evacuated. Partial evacuation is a practical solution when there are separate wings or buildings of the hotel or
when the building is a high rise structure.

PARTIAL EVACUATION: By partially evacuating the hotel, you remain in control of the
evacuation, while other fire emergency issues are being resolved. The goal, at this point, is to
remove people, both guests and team members, who are in the immediate area from the
threatening hazard and relocate them to a safer location. This is performed while the
remainder of the hotel, which is not threatened, may not need to be evacuated. This partial
evacuation will reduce the disruption factor caused by a complete hotel evacuation and keep
the emergency situation manageable.

COMPLETE EVACUATION: A complete evacuation should be done upon orders of the Senior
Ranking Fire or Police Department official, or by the highest senior manager on the property.
This decision is based upon the most severe condition or if the threat to life and property is
unknown.
