Emergency Drills
When fire drills are conducted, all persons who are subject to the fire drill requirements shall participate in the drill. Non-participants are subject to receive a summons that will require them to appear in court, where a fine of $999.00 and/or imprisonment of up to 180 days may be imposed.
Emergency evacuation drills improve occupant safety, and the Denver Fire Department has a great appreciation for firms conducting these drills—something we encourage every property manager to consider. Building occupants who are regularly involved in such drills are more apt to act appropriately in an actual emergency. In fact, fire experience across the nation has shown that occupants who are familiar with their building’s exits and safety equipment perform better during emergencies than those who are not.
