Drill should be initiated by activating the fire alarm and all stages of
the drill should be observed and a review of the drill should be held.

Emergency Planning
Fire may still occur in spite of good fire prevention procedures. Advance
planning should be carried out to minimize the cost and disruption of a fire.
Damage control plans should address the procedures required before, during
and after the fire.
Before the fire:
Establish the following:
A response team.
Drains which may become blocked with fire debris should be cleared.
Stock in danger from the fire may be moved from the area if safe to do
so.
Debris should be checked for any recoverable items and then cleared
away.
