Chief Responsibility: The Chief of Police or designee is responsible for emergency actions.
Employee Responsibilities: Employees must familiarize themselves with fire alarm locations in their work areas.
Fire Alarm Systems: OPD facilities may have manual pull-type or automated fire alarm systems. Pull-type systems use a plate; automated systems sense smoke/fire.

General Responsibilities During Fire Evacuations

Orderly Evacuation: Designated employees ensure calm, prevent panic, and ensure the total evacuation of all persons.
