Key roles include:
If you hear the alarm go off it will sound “BEEP BEEP BEEP”
If you hear the alarm, your first task is to simply get people out!
If you are aware an Area Warden on your level is not in the building AND YOU ARE ALREADY IN THE BUILDING, take on that Area Warden's area role (See Area Warden Section)
Checking fire and other doors are properly closed before leaving their area
Closing or opening other doors in accordance with emergency procedures (ie if you were opening doors to let people out of the building)
If you are first outside the downstairs offices out front, latch the door back to allow others to move through it freely
Turning off air conditioner if the switch is in your area
Searching your designated Area to ensure all occupants have evacuated
You should not re-enter the building if you are not here - another staff member will take responsibility for your role
Ensuring the orderly flow of people out of the building and to the Assembly area
Acting as a leader of a group of people heading to the Assembly Area
Know who the Area Wardens are on your level and await their SMS to report on the status of their area.
Ensuring the Chief Warden and Deputy Warden’s numbers are in your phone (Deputy numbers are needed in case you hear one of them has taken on the Chief Fire Warden role)
Reporting the status of your Area to the Fire Warden Group - you should text the Fire Warden Group with your “Area” and “All Clear” if no one is left and also if you are aware of the “Location of Fire is X”
In the unlikely event a person does not wish to be evacuated, you would text “Area” and “Name of person refuses to leave”
Assist the Deputy Wardens at the Assembly Area as needed
Assist any injured in locating a First Aid Officer and First Aid Kit
If necessary and you have found an injured person that the Chief Warden does not know about and it is life threatening, immediately call “000” Ambulance and text “Area” “Ambulance called for injured person’ to the Chief Fire Warden
