Proposed dormitory standards call for fire drills every term, including night-time evacuation. A good drill has marked assembly points, named marshals, a clear alarm signal, a head count and a short review. Practise at night with torches, and time how long it takes everyone to get out. Fix every blocked exit, dead alarm and empty extinguisher you find.
Key takeaways
- Drill every term, including at night.
