Before Scheduling a Fire Drill

Designate a meeting place outside of the building.
- Follow the guidelines provided in supporting documents.
Designate a Floor Leader (FL) for each floor.
- This person is in charge of making sure all people on their floor are accounted for during the drill.
- If a floor has more than 50 people, multiple FLs are to be designated such that each FL has no more than 50 people to account for.
- This person(s) is to have a list of all occupants within their area.
Contact the Fire Marshall for a meeting to go over building specific evacuation details.
The building proctor is to set a date for the fire drill.

Schedule the drill with Fire Systems Group (FSG) 303-492-0633 two to three weeks prior to the date of the drill.

In the message, the Service Center will invite the recipients of the email to attend the fire drill if they wish to do so.
