What should a Fire Guard do if they hear a fire alarm?

When a Fire Guard hears a fire alarm, the appropriate action is to evacuate immediately. This response is critical for ensuring the safety of all individuals in the vicinity. A fire alarm indicates a potential fire emergency, and immediate evacuation helps to reduce the risk of injury or harm. Fire Guards are trained to prioritize safety and lead individuals to designated exits or safe areas to facilitate a prompt and organized evacuation.

While it might be tempting to wait for further instructions or continue working, these actions can delay evacuation and increase the danger for everyone present. Turning off all equipment could also lead to unnecessary complications or hazards in the event of a fire. Ensuring that the area is cleared efficiently and swiftly is the key responsibility of a Fire Guard in such situations. This proactive approach can significantly contribute to the overall safety and effectiveness of emergency response protocols.
