Fire Exit Drills

The Denver fire code requires that every school in the District conduct a fire exit drill every month when school is in session.

A record (see Emergency Drill Record Form below) of fire exit drills must be maintained. Accidental or unexpected fire alarms may be counted as the monthly practice drill as long as the school follows established evacuation procedures.

Each fire exit drill should be timed and evaluated. Any problems discovered with the evacuation should be resolved quickly and completely.

The School Population Accountability Procedure (see below) must be documented and followed to ensure that every student, staff member and visitor is accounted for during an evacuation.
