Fire Warden Speaking:
As a Fire Warden, your primary duty is to get everyone out of the building safely and immediately. When the fire alarm goes off, do not wait for confirmation that there is indeed a fire or waste time looking for your vest if it isn’t nearby.
Fire Warden Speaking:
If the fire alarm goes off, start evacuating any individuals in your area by telling them to exit the building and directing them to the nearest fire exit. As a Fire Warden you should be aware of the nearest exit routes available and alternative routes if necessary due to a possible obstacle such as construction or a fire blocking the primary route. Inform people to get out quickly and not spend time packing their belongings.
Fire Warden Speaking:
If you have information regarding injury, fire location, persons requiring assistance or persons still in the building notify a Fire Warden Team Lead. Team Leads wear a lime-coloured vest and stand at the principle entrance of each building. If you don’t see a Team Lead, you can also report the information to a Security guard.
Fire Warden Speaking:
Ask the student if they have an individualized fire evacuation plan. Students should follow their plan. Fire wardens are notified when an individualized fire evacuation plan has been created for a student who attends class in their building.
Fire Warden Speaking:
Not all persons requiring evacuation assistance have requested an individual fire evacuation plan. Individuals who are unable to evacuate by using stairs are advised to evacuate horizontally. This refers to exiting into another building. For example, a student may be on the 2nd floor or the Davis C Wing and unable to use the stairs. If safe to do so, they should exit C Wing through the bridge to B Wing. If the B wing is not in alarm, the student can remain there. If B Wing is in alarm, the student can exit the building through the main entrance which is barrier-free.
Fire Warden Speaking:
If horizontal evacuation is not an option, the person requiring assistance should prepare to protect-in-place. The person must:
1. Find a room that is safe and away from smoke and fire, choosing a room that contains a phone and window.
2. Shut the door.
3. Call 9-1-1 to inform them of their location and provide details of their situation.
4. Wait to be rescued by the Fire Department.
Fire Warden Speaking:
If everyone has been evacuated in your immediate area and it is safe to do so, check washrooms and other enclosed areas, to ensure total evacuation.
Fire Warden Speaking:
If your area handles cash money, ensure that the cash is secured before exiting, only if safe to do so.
Fire Warden Speaking:
It is important to close all doors behind you. The doors are designed contain fire and smoke. Doors help prevent the spread of damaging smoke and fire, protect occupants and the contents of other rooms and allow occupants to safely evacuate.
Fire Warden Speaking:
As a Fire Warden, be sure to know the alternate exit routes in your building. Alternate exits should be used if your primary escape path is blocked by the fire.
Fire Warden Speaking:
Class A fire extinguishers are intended for ordinary combustibles. They are best suited for fires involving items such as wood, paper, cloth, trash, and plastics.
Fire Warden Speaking:
Most fire extinguishers found in the college are rated class A, B, and C. This means they can indeed be used for all 3 classes. Class A represents ordinary combustibles, Class B is intended for flammable liquids and gases such as oils, gas, grease, and paint. Class C is intended for fire involving live electrical equipment. There are two other classes that require different extinguishers, and those are class D which is for combustible metals such as magnesium and sodium, and finally class K which is for fires involving combustible cooking media such as vegetable or animal oils and fats.
Fire Warden Speaking:
The correct method to follow is the PASS method. The acronym represents “P” for Pull the pin, which will allow you to discharge the extinguisher. The “A” is for Aim at the base of the fire, which is necessary to put the fire out by extinguishing the source or fuel and not the flames. The “S” stands for squeeze the top handle or lever. This depresses a button that releases the pressurized extinguishing agent in the extinguisher. Finally the last “S” stands for sweep. It is important to sweep from side to side from a safe distance and more forward. Once the fire is out, keep an eye on the area in case it re-ignites.
Fire Warden Speaking:
Exit and proceed to the principle entrance of the building. Use your cell phone to connect with the Chief Fire Warden by calling into the conference line. Report any pertinent information received from other Fire Wardens such as injury, fire location, persons requiring assistance or persons sill in the building.
Fire Warden Speaking:
Let the firefighters do their job and fight the fire at this point. Follow their instructions and stay out of the way, and keep others away from the building until you get an all clear from the fire department that it is safe to go back inside.
