Fire drill frequency for Group R-1 (hotels/motels) is required how often?

For Group R-1 occupancies, which include hotels and motels, the required frequency for conducting fire drills is every three months. This regular schedule is critical because it ensures that both staff and guests are familiar with fire safety protocols and evacuation procedures. Frequent practice helps to maintain a high level of preparedness in case of an actual fire emergency, reducing panic and confusion when an alarm is triggered.

Conducting fire drills at this frequency allows for the evaluation of procedures and training programs, ensuring that they remain effective and that everyone knows their roles during an emergency. This proactive approach can help save lives by ensuring quick and efficient evacuation in a real emergency situation.
