Upon receipt of a fire alarm, where must a member of the Fire FLS Brigade report?

When a fire alarm is received, a member of the Fire Life Safety (FLS) Brigade must report to the floor below the fire. This is a critical step to ensure that they are able to effectively assess the situation, control access, and assist any evacuating occupants. Reporting to the floor below allows the member to check for any signs of fire spread, ensure that the fire alarm system is functioning properly, and aid in managing evacuation procedures.

It's also essential for ensuring the safety of the building's occupants. By positioning themselves on the floor below rather than at the fire or elsewhere, the brigade member can provide a safe zone for those fleeing from the fire, offering guidance and support. This strategic positioning is aligned with fire safety protocols which dictate minimizing exposure to danger while still being able to manage evacuation and firefighting efforts effectively.
