If there is a fire alarm on your site, what would be your best course of action?

Evacuate everyone in an orderly fashion
Call the fire department to confirm they are attending
Refer to your emergency measures plan
See if you can schedule your lunch break so you can watch all the fire trucks arrive

The correct answer is: Refer to your emergency measures plan

The correct answer is to refer to your emergency measures plan. This prioritizes safety and follows best practices and procedures. Every site or establishment should have an emergency measures plan, which includes detailed steps to respond to any emergency, including a fire. As a security guard, your role during a fire alarm would be guided by this plan. This could involve activating the building’s fire alarm system, calling the fire department, aiding in evacuation, or closing certain areas. Following the established emergency plan ensures you're helping in the most efficient and effective way during an emergency. The suggestion of evacuating everyone in an orderly fashion or calling the fire department could be part of the plan, but these actions should not be assumed and taken out of turn. It's important to follow the emergency plan to ensure all the necessary actions are taken and none are missed.
