Security Guards’ Role During Fire Evacuations

During the Southern California wildfires, we’ve seen how quickly fire can threaten structures. Having an evacuation plan in place is critical. Onsite security guards play a big role in ensuring the plan is carried out and people are evacuated safely.

Acting Quickly. Whether it’s an office building, assisted living facility, restaurant or apartment complex, security guards assigned to safeguard these buildings are trained in evacuation procedures. Following the location’s evacuation plan, guards help guide people to a safe location. They sweep the building to ensure everyone is out.

In many cases, evacuations must take place immediately. Some people may not want to leave, and others may not want to follow evacuation procedures. Security guards take the lead and ensure that everyone follows directions.
