Panda conducts monthly fire drills, where all children and staff vacate the building from the
closest emergency exit. The fire drill chart, including date and exit times, is posted in the
office for your information.

The emergency and evacuation procedure is approved by the local fire department. Both
forms are posted at all fire exits. The local fire inspector inspects the centre annually.

Panda’s fire drill procedure:

1. Sound the local alarm.
2. Call 911, giving the correct address.
3. One designated staff member in each room collects attendance sheets and emergency
   cards and waits at the nearest exit until all children have evacuated the building. All
   other staff members in the room direct children through the closest exit and away
   from the building, to a designated area.
4. The cook or cleaning staff assists the infant room in safe evacuation procedure.
5. The Centre Director checks the washrooms and play centres to ensure all children have
   evacuated, then closes all doors and switches lights off.
6. All children remain with their group in a designated area away from the building
   until:
   1. Attendance is taken.
   2. The director has inspected the building.
   3. The alarm has been shut off.
