This is the National Fire Protection Association's (www.NFPA.org) yearly awareness campaign week. Take a moment to think about your Theatre or performance venue and how you address Fire Safety issues. Here are some things to check:
- Fire Extinguishers (When were they last inspected? Do you know how to use them?)
- Egress Paths (Are they clear of debris?)
- Emergency Lighting (When was it last tested?)
- Fire Alarm Devices (Are they clearly marked and accesible?)
- Fire Fighting Equipment (Are they inspected and accessible?)
- Fire Curtain (Last tested? Last Inspected?)
- Smoke Vents (LAst tested? Last Inspected?)
- Draperies, Scenery, Costumes, and Props (Treated with Fire Retardants?)
Be safe. Test everything. Keep good records. Keep Back-up Records off-site.
