In the event of a fire, what must the FLS Director do?

The role of the Fire and Life Safety (FLS) Director during a fire is critical for ensuring the safety of building occupants and the effective management of emergency response protocols. Reporting to the Fire Command Center is essential because it establishes a point of coordination between the building's internal emergency response team and the arriving fire services.

When the FLS Director reaches the Fire Command Center, they can provide vital information about the building, such as the fire's location, the status of occupants, and any hazards that may be present. This collaboration is crucial for an organized and efficient response to the fire, helping to direct efforts for containment, evacuation, and rescue as needed.

While notifying occupants or evacuating the building are important actions in a fire situation, the immediate and essential step for the FLS Director is to connect with the Fire Command Center. This ensures that first responders have the most accurate information and can strategize effectively.
