Fire Ground Exercises At The Fire Service Area

Having adequate resources, including personnel, equipment, and water is essential to a successful operation.

Safety is the first rule in firefighting with the end goal that everyone goes

The hospital policy for fire drills requires one drill per shift per quarter. The audit shows that there are some compliancy concerns regarding the fire drills. During third shift, for the first and third quarters, no fire drill occurred. Also, there was no fire drill on the second shift during the fourth quarter. Obviously, there should be further study to determine the cause for the compliancy issue vs. staffing deficiencies during third shift. Additionally, each department will have a safety monitor assigned to ensure the fire drills occur as per hospital policy. The safety monitor will complete a form documenting the staff involved in the fire drill, date, and time the drill took place and will keep a copy in the safety manual to be inspected monthly.

Non-compliance regarding the fire drill data occurs on the 2nd and 3rd shifts; this is usually when there is no leadership present on the hospital campus. This would lead one to believe that the staff is only compliant with the drills when leadership is physically on the hospital campus to play “watchdog.” A solution to help this non-compliance behavior is to have leadership present during all hours and complete rounding to ensure staff is compliant with the drills. This is important because the drills have an effect on life safety.

These procedures state what to do in the event of a fire or evacuation. We carry out regular fire drills so that the children know what to expect and also to help us identify any issues with our procedure. The dates and time taken to carry out fire drills are recorded. We had our practice fire drill recently in our school and I was playing with some children in the nursery garden and we did not hear the fire drill outside, so when we took the children to the fire assembly point,

A key leader needs to attend a train-the trainer event. These events have proven to be an effective method for getting effective training done at the local level (Thomas & Carruth, 2015).
