    Study Notes

    Responding to a School Fire Alarm during a Lockdown

    • Crews should consider indicators of a possible school lockdown during size up, including:
      • Absence of students or faculty on school grounds or property
      • Windows with blinds pulled
      • Entrance doors locked
      • Classroom and hallway lights turned off
      • No persons visible inside the building
      • Increased police activity in the area
      • Parents/adults at the outer perimeter (later stages)
    • If it becomes apparent the school is under lockdown, the crew should:
      • Immediately move away and stage at a safe distance
      • Notify communications and ask for further updates from TPS
      • Update the TFS Communications Centre with observations and Command Post/Staging Area Location
    • During full lockdown, if signs of fire are obvious, the TFS Incident Commander should fully assess risk prior to advancing

    School Signage/Locators

    • All four publicly funded schools will have signage located above the doors on the interior and exterior:
      • Main entrance door marked as door number 1 with a 12” x 12” yellow sign on the exterior and a different color with red lettering on the interior
      • Doors marked clockwise from the main entrance
      • Secondary doors marked with alpha numeric identifiers (1a, 1b, 1c) and are means of egress only

    Lockdowns in Other Facilities

    • Lockdowns may occur in facilities other than schools
    • TFS personnel should abide by the guidelines for all such situations
    • Hospitals in Ontario use the following terms to indicate they are in lockdown:
      • Code Silver – Person with a weapon
      • Code Black – Bomb Threat/Suspicious Object
      • Code Purple – Hostage Taking
      • Code White – Violent/Behavioral Situation
