During an emergency evacuation, what is the FLS Brigade’s role regarding communication?

In an emergency evacuation, the FLS Brigade plays a crucial role in maintaining communication with emergency services. This function is vital because it ensures that key information about the situation within the building is relayed to first responders. This includes details about the nature of the emergency, the status of the evacuation, and any individuals who may need assistance. Effective communication can help emergency services respond more quickly and efficiently, thereby enhancing the overall safety of occupants and improving the response to the emergency.

While monitoring radio frequencies, leading evacuation efforts, and providing updates to building occupants are important tasks during an emergency, they do not encompass the primary responsibility of the FLS Brigade in ensuring that a direct line of communication is kept open with emergency services. By focusing on this essential communication role, the FLS Brigade effectively supports the overall fire safety plan and ensures that emergency responders have the information they need to take appropriate action.
