As per State Statute R277-400-7-B, and Article 13, Section 1303.3.2.(1) of the Utah Fire Code

During each school year, elementary schools shall conduct a total of nine drills.
Secondary schools shall conduct a total of four drills. The first drill of the year must be a fire drill conducted within the first ten days of the new school year. A fire drill is also mandated within ten days after return from the winter break. We suggest that you do an earthquake drill in conjunction with the "Great State Shake Out" in April.

Drills shall include the complete evacuation of all persons from the school building or portion thereof used for educational purposes. An exception may be made for the staff member responsible for notifying the local fire department and handling emergency communications.

Fire drills shall be initiated by activation of the school's fire alarm system at one of the pull stations.

All schools shall conduct at least one mandatory "lock down" drill during the school year. This will also be included, in writing, in your Emergency Preparedness Plan, the procedures for lock down notification, method used for accountability, communications during a lock down and the method used for releasing a lock down. In the past, local law enforcement have been very helpful and willing to participate in lock down drills.

Each school shall conduct an Emergency Preparedness Week prior to April 30 of each school year.

Call Building Controls 402-7680 prior to a planned drill

If a construction related or other false alarm causes a complete evacuation to take place, get on Encore to get credit for a drill.

If you need any assistance or have any questions, please call 402-5307.
