Fires can happen anywhere and at anytime, so it's important to know what to do in case a fire breaks out in your school, business or house. Fire drills provide practice and knowledge of what to do in case a real fire occurs. Fire drills necessitate a need to move quickly and get out of the building, but you need to ensure that safety precautions are taken so no one gets injured. The Alameda Fire Department offers training to businesses who are interested in developing a fire drill plan which this department strongly encourages.
