A Fire Watch must meet the following requirements: A fire watch “faculty member” must be in each hallway serving any classroom or area occupied by students; i.e.; four hallways require four faculty members. Each faculty member must be able to send or receive communications; i.e., intercom or portable radio. Each faculty member has the following responsibilities: 1. Detect a fire in their vicinity, ensure the evacuation of their area and initiate the general “alarm” by intercom or radio. 2. Receive an “alarm” by intercom or radio, from others, and initiate the evacuation of their area. If the school lacks the resources to establish a Fire Watch, the building shall be evacuated. Request Prevention 18, through the FAO to assist in the evacuation and documentation. Additionally, upon finding a fire alarm system that does not operate, the company officer shall: 1. Advise the Principal that the alarm system needs to be repaired as soon as is possible. 2. Advise the Principal that the Fire Watch must be provided at any time and in any areas that the building is occupied: during games and other extra- curricular activities. 3. Complete a FP-350, including the following fields: street number, street name, type, date, time, activity code “6” (company special inspection), and inspecting officer.
