3.1 Fire drills shall be held at least once a month in educational occupancies where such occupancies constitute the major occupancy of a building and at least once every two months in institutional occupancies where such occupancies constitute the major occupancy of a building. During severe weather, fire drills may be postponed. A record of all fire drills shall be kept and persons in charge of such occupancies shall maintain a written record on site of all such fire drills held, giving the time and date of each drill held. This record of fire drills shall be made available to a representative of the State Fire Marshal, upon request. The record shall be maintained for a period of three years, not including the current year.

Note: Change relieves facilities from requirement of sending reports to the State Fire Marshal.

3.2 In educational occupancies fire drills shall include complete evacuation of all persons from the building. In institutional occupancies fire drills shall be conducted to familiarize operating personnel with their assigned positions of emergency duty; complete evacuation of all persons from the building at the time of the fire drill shall be required only where it is practicable and does not involve moving or disturbing persons under medical care.
