What to do if you see fire or “visible” smoke? Fire Response - RACE What to do if you see fire or “visible” smoke? Follow the RACE Procedure R - Remove Remove anyone from immediate danger, clear the corridor, and close all doors A - Alarm Activate a pull station and dial #321 to report exact location and magnitude of the situation (Offsites – call 911) C - Confine Confine the fire by closing all doors especially the fire room E – Evacuate/Extinguish Evacuate persons from fire compartment If it is safe to do so, utilize a fire extinguisher NOTE: Refer to evacuation plans posted in unit for fire compartment location and fire plan information.

Areas of Refuge Moving patients from one smoke compartment to another on the same floor puts them into “areas of refuge” North and South Towers - areas of refuge are separated by fire barriers at the south tower and elevator lobby On Network levels 4, 5, & 6 – look for Smoke or Fire Door sign on door to locate adjacent area of refuge Moving patients to other floors or from the building is a last resort and done in coordination with the fire department

Evacuation Example Each area has an Evacuation Plan posted. Find and become familiar with your area’s plan

All Medical Staff will react to any fire or fire alarm Roles and Responsibilities All Medical Staff will react to any fire or fire alarm Assist nursing staff and be under direction of Fire Warden or Charge Nurse Clear halls, close doors, evacuate patients (patient evac. not necessary for fire alarm w/no fire/smoke present) Remain in evacuation area, providing care to evacuated patients

NEVER use an Elevator during Fires! Elevators NEVER use an Elevator during Fires! In most cases the elevators will operate normally during general fire alarm. If an elevator lobby detector activates, the elevators will return to level 5 and go into a standby mode.

Manual Pull Stations Activation will sound building fire alarm as well as notify University Police Pull this device when you have a or fire or actual smoke condition. Follow up with call to 321

CODE RED indicates that a fire condition exists Dial 321, notify operator of Code Red and provide location If you have a fire in a patient’s room and have to evacuate the patient, call out “Code Red” for someone to activate the fire alarm. Do not call out “Fire!” If you hear “Code Red” called out, pull fire alarm and dial 321, giving your location for the Code Red. Note: at offsites call 911.

CODE GREEN Indicates that the emergency is over and normal activities may continue “Code Green” will be announced over the PA system 3 times

*Pre-Recorded Voice Messages* Fire Alarm Signaling Fire Alarm Signaling Method *Pre-Recorded Voice Messages* Based on area of alarm activation, fire alarm will broadcast a voice recorded message stating Code Red with the area in alarm. Example announcement of fire alarm originating on T18 south: T18 N&S: Strobes flash, alert tone sounds followed by announcement: “Code Red 18 south” T17 N&S: Chimes sounds followed by announcement: “A Code Red is being investigated on 18 South” T19 N&S: Chimes sounds followed by announcement: Note: Fire alarm strobes will be activated in area of alarm only until the code green is called. Fire alarm strobe

Extinguishing Oxygen Fed Fires Turn oxygen valve ¼ turn toward you to shut off Zone valves shut off flow of O2 to designated rooms Assess situation: What are patient needs? Is fire fed by O2? KNOW YOUR VALVE LOCATION Anyone can shut valve after determining that patients served by that zone will not be adversely affected by oxygen shutoff 11/20/2018

Fire Response Fire extinguishers are located throughout facility. Staff are responsible to know where the closest is in their areas. Use a portable fire extinguisher only if the fire is small and can be brought under control using one extinguisher. If the fire is large or spreading, close the door to the fire area and leave. In all cases, before using the extinguisher, make sure the R.A.&C. of RACE has been initiated.

Fire Extinguishers All areas have multi-purpose, dry chemical extinguishers which are good for: Class A: Ordinary combustibles Class B: Flammable liquids Class C: Electrical

Fire Extinguisher Use - PASS When using a fire extinguisher, think P.A.S.S. P ull the Pin & stand back 6-10 feet. A im nozzle at the base of the fire. Hit the fuel not the flames! S queeze the handle to depress the button and release the agent. S weep nozzle from side to side until completely out. Keep an eye on it in case it re-ignites.
