Page 11
e. Floor Wardens on floor above the fire shall, after
executing the Fire Safety Plan, notify the Fire Command
Station of the means of egress being used for evacuation
and any other particulars.
f. In the event that stairways serving the floor and/or
floors above are unusable due to contamination or cut
off from fire and/or smoke, or that several floors above
the fire involving large numbers of occupants must be
evacuated, consideration may be given to using elevators
in accordance with the following:
1) If the elevator servicing his floor also services
the fire floor, they shall not be used. However,
elevators may be used if there is more than one
bank of elevators, and he is informed from the Fire
Command Station that one bank is unaffected by the
fire.
2) If elevators do not service the fire floor and
their shafts have no 'opening on the fire floor,
they may be used, unless otherwise directed.
3) Elevators manned by trained building personnel or
fire fighters may also be used.
4) In the absence of a serviceable elevator the FLOOR
WARDEN shall select the safest stairway to use for
evacuation on the basis of the location of the fire
and any information received from the Fire Command
Station. The FLOOR WARDEN shall check the
environment in the stair prior to entry for
evacuation. If it is affected by smoke, an
alternate stair shall be selected, and the Fire
Command Station notified.
5) The FLOOR WARDEN shall keep the Fire Command
Station informed of the means being employed for
evacuation by the occupants of his floor.
S- Determine that an alarm has been transmitted.
