Fire Marshal

The main focus of the Fire Marshal is to ensure orderly evacuation by sweeping through their assigned area and directing occupants to the nearest unobstructed exit. ELEVATORS SHOULD NOT BE USED. And to ensure accountability for MU employees, students and visitors.

This is accomplished by: – being prepared for the emergency before it happens.

Fire Marshal Responsibilities

There are four main areas of Fire Marshal responsibility:

–Preparation –Evacuation –Seek Shelter –Training

If you leave your position and are no longer the Fire Marshal, please notify your Manager, BEC and EH&S to appoint a new Fire Marshal.

Page 5: Marquette University

Preparation Responsibilities• Help develop, implement, and

maintain Building Emergency Action Plan

• Coordinate responsibilities with Building Emergency Coordinator, Department Chairs/other key building personnel

• Familiarize building occupants with this plan

• Identify occupants needing assistance

• List of rooms with hazardous materials

• Identify equipment needing special attention in power disruption

• Educate co-workers on fire safety.

• Train new employees on Emergency Action Plan, exit routes, shelter-in-place recommendations, assembly and shelter areas

• Work with BEC to assure Emergency Evacuation and “Seek Shelter” drills are conducted at least annually. (Critique drills, enlist technical support)

Preparation Responsibilities

Page 7: Marquette University

2012 MU Building Fire Marshal Training

Preparation ResponsibilitiesFamiliarize

yourself with all exit routes and options to steer evacuees to the safest exit.

Familiarize yourself with shelter areas

Page 8: Marquette University

2012 MU Building Fire Marshal Training

Preparation ResponsibilitiesKnow where

your building assembly area is located.

Page 9: Marquette University

2012 MU Building Fire Marshal Training

Preparation Responsibilities

Also let us know of any egress problems, nonfunctioning alarms, blocked open fire doors, or problems in keeping your building’s aisles clear.

We’ll work with you to improve your procedures and emergency plan.

Page 10: Marquette University

2012 MU Building Fire Marshal Training

Preparation ResponsibilitiesIt is important to practice. A building

evacuation and seek shelter drill should be conducted at least annually. The Building Emergency Coordinator should contact the Department of Public Safety and Facilities Services and ask for their assistance in conducting the drill.

Please participate in these drills, and let the office of EH&S know of any problems.

Reasons Why We Practice Evacuation/Seek Shelter Drills

• Oklahoma City Assembly Plant• Plant Population 3500 employees

Zero Injuries

Evacuation Responsibilities

Unless otherwise “officially” notified, evacuation is mandatory when building alarm is activated.

Page 15: Marquette University

2012 MU Building Fire Marshal Training

Evacuation Responsibilities

In an emergency evacuation, each Fire Marshal is responsible for the following:

• Sweep through assigned area to alert occupants that an evacuation is in process.

• Assist building occupants needing assistance, when it is safe to do so.• Account for all employees by meeting building occupants at the

designated assembly area.• Advise building occupants regarding situation and when re-entry is

permitted.• Report to BEC with names of employees unaccounted for, location of

occupants needing assistance in evacuating, and any other information necessary to assist emergency personnel.

“At no time should a Fire Marshal put their own safety in jeopardy”

Page 16: Marquette University

2012 MU Building Fire Marshal Training

Evacuation Responsibilities

Assist physically impaired people to evacuate.

Direct physically impaired people who cannot evacuate to the designated place of refuge.

Assign someone to stay with the physically impaired person, if they are not putting their own well being at risk.

Page 17: Marquette University

2012 MU Building Fire Marshal Training

Evacuation ResponsibilitiesEmergency

Coordinators and Fire Marshals should sweep through their assigned area on the way out of the building. “At no time should a BEC or Fire Marshal jeopardize their own safety”

If people don’t leave when asked to evacuate, remember their location so Incident Command can handle the problem.

Page 18: Marquette University

2012 MU Building Fire Marshal Training

Evacuation Responsibilities

Go to the assembly area to account for people in your assigned area.

Your Building Emergency Action Plan should include a procedure to account for everyone.

Page 19: Marquette University

2012 MU Building Fire Marshal Training

Evacuation ResponsibilitiesReport to Building

BEC with all information gathered. They will relay this information onto Incident Command this information will be helpful to them in coordinating any actions which need to be taken.

Let people know further instructions or when it is safe to re-enter.

Page 20: Marquette University

Seek Shelter ResponsibilitiesSeek Shelter (Severe Weather)A severe weather event such as tornado or wind event may necessitate you to “Take Shelter” until the threat of bad weather has passed. Relocating from your normal work area to a space that has no windows or to a lower floor may increase your chances of survival.In an seek shelter event, each Fire Marshal is responsible for the following:•Sweep through assigned area to alert occupants to seek shelter•Move to a designated shelter area within the building. (Refer to building Emergency Evacuation Maps for designated shelter areas)•Assist building occupants needing assistance, when it is safe to do so.•Account for all employees by meeting building occupants at the designated shelter area.•Advise building occupants regarding situation and when an all-clear has been called•Report to BEC with names of employees unaccounted for, and any other information necessary to assist emergency personnel •If not possible:

– Move to a interior room with no windows, or a hallway on the lowest floor possible– Move to and interior stairwell if all rooms have windows

Review of Key Emergency Concepts

• Each buildings should have their own emergency action plan to address their specific situation.

• At no time should a BEC or Fire Marshal jeopardize their own safety.

• Evacuation is not the best response to all emergencies.

• Evacuation and Seek Shelter drills are extremely important to ensure orderly exit under control and prevent panic.

Page 24: Marquette University

• To burn a fire needs fuel, an ignition source (like a spark) and oxygen.

• Remove any of these and the fire will go out
