Fire Drills, Training & Emergency Plans
Prepared people save lives. We plan, conduct and document the drills, training and emergency plans that keep your occupants safe and your building in compliance.
Readiness You Can Document
Fire alarms, sprinklers and extinguishers protect the building. People are what make an emergency response work. When the alarm sounds, occupants and staff need to know where to go, who is in charge and what to do next.
The team delivers fire and life safety programs that prepare your people for fire and non-fire emergencies. We run and record your drills, train your staff and emergency teams, and write the plans that tie it all together. Every visit is documented, so you have the records inspectors, insurers and accreditation surveyors ask for.
Fire Drills
Drills That Build Muscle Memory
A drill is the only way to know your plan works before a real emergency tests it. Our team can schedule, conduct and observe your drills, then document every one for your records.
Drill types we conduct:
Fire Drills
Occupants practice safe, orderly sheltering in place, in-building relocation, partial evacuation or full evacuation, based on your building's plan.
Stairwell Familiarization Drills
Occupants walk the exit stairs accessible from their floor, helping them become familiar with the available routes before an emergency occurs.
In-Building Relocation Drills
Occupants move to a safer area inside the building, away from the simulated hazard.
Shelter-in-Place Drills
Occupants stay at or move to a protected location when leaving the building is the greater risk.
Full Building Evacuation Drills
Every occupant exits the building and reports to the designated assembly area.
Elopement Drills (healthcare)
Staff practice locating a resident or patient who is not capable of self-preservation and has left the facility unsupervised.
Emergency Preparedness Exercises
Scenario-based drills for non-fire events such as severe weather, utility loss, hazardous materials or security threats.
Drill types we conduct:
- A scheduled date and time coordinated with building management
- On-site observation by a trained representative
- Written documentation for your logbook and compliance records
- Feedback on response times, staff performance and areas to improve

"Great service from start to finish. From my first call with Allie, to the electrical service performed by Brandon and Sam, which was unctual, skillful, and professional. Everyone I dealt with at LHR Electrical was very efficient and adept. Would definitely recommend and use again".

Emergency Plans
Custom Plans Written for Your Building
A generic template won’t hold up in an emergency or an inspection. Each plan is written around your building’s layout, occupancy, fire protection systems and staffing, then keep it current as your building and the codes change.
| Plan | What it covers | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Fire Safety and Evacuation Plan | Alarm response, evacuation and relocation routes, assembly areas, occupant and staff duties, and procedures for people who need assistance | All commercial and healthcare occupancies |
| Emergency Action Plan | Response procedures for non-fire emergencies such as medical events, severe weather, utility failures, hazardous materials and security threats | Offices, commercial and mixed-use buildings |
| Fire Protection Plan NYC only | Your building's fire protection systems, how they are maintained, and the procedures for impairments and fire watch | Buildings with sprinkler, standpipe or alarm systems |
| Emergency Disaster Plan | All-hazards planning for patient and resident safety, continuity of care, and staff roles during a disaster | Hospitals, nursing homes and senior living |
| Flood Emergency Response Plan | Flood preparation, protective measures, shutdown and recovery steps | Buildings in flood-prone areas |
Every plan includes:
- An on-site review of your building, systems and occupancy
- Clear roles and responsibilities for staff and emergency team members
- Evacuation, relocation and shelter-in-place procedures
- Floor plans and diagrams showing exits, assembly areas and equipment (NYC only)
- Staff orientation on the finished plan
- Periodic reviews and updates when your building, tenants or code requirements change

Frequently Asked Questions
How often does my building need fire drills?
It depends on your occupancy type, your state and local fire code, and any licensing or accreditation standards you follow. Healthcare facilities typically drill more often, across every shift. Representatives confirm your requirements during the consultation and build a schedule to meet them.
Do you provide documentation for inspections and surveys?
Yes. Every drill and training session is documented, so you have the records inspectors, insurers and surveyors ask for.
Can you run drills without disrupting our tenants or patients?
What's the difference between a Fire Safety Plan and an Emergency Action Plan?
A Fire Safety and Evacuation Plan covers how occupants respond to a fire. An Emergency Action Plan covers non-fire events such as medical emergencies, severe weather and security threats. Most buildings benefit from both.
Can training happen at our location?
Yes. Training is delivered on-site and tailored to your building, your plan and your staff.
We already have a plan. Can you review it?
Yes. Existing plans are reviewed against your building’s current layout, systems and code requirements, then updated as needed.
