When should a Fire Guard call for evacuation?

A Fire Guard should call for evacuation primarily when there is an imminent fire danger or activation of fire alarms. This response is critical for ensuring the safety of all occupants in a building. An imminent fire danger indicates that there is a direct threat to life and property, prompting the need for immediate action. The activation of fire alarms serves as a critical signal that a fire may be present or that conditions necessitate evacuation to protect individuals from potential harm.

In contrast, the other responses are situations that do not warrant immediate evacuation. Suspecting that a fire might start, for example, does not provide enough confirmation of danger to justify the immediate evacuation of a building, as it could lead to unnecessary panic. Completing a fire drill is also not a reason to evacuate, as drills are intended to practice safe evacuation procedures and not respond to actual threats. Similarly, waiting solely for instruction from building management could delay evacuation in a critical situation, as the Fire Guard is trained to act decisively in the event of an emergency based on their established protocols.
