Who is responsible for the safety of all building occupants, reducing the threat of fires, and assisting with evacuation in case of a fire emergency?

The role of a Fire Guard is specifically focused on ensuring the safety of all building occupants regarding fire threats and emergencies. Fire Guards are trained to identify potential fire hazards, enforce fire safety regulations, and actively participate in evacuation procedures during a fire emergency. Their training equips them with the skills to manage difficult situations, provide clear instructions to occupants, and help facilitate a safe evacuation.

This specialized focus on fire safety and emergency response distinguishes the Fire Guard from other roles that may have broader responsibilities, such as a Building Manager or Emergency Response Coordinator, who may address a variety of emergency situations but are not solely dedicated to fire safety. While a Fire Marshal may oversee compliance with fire codes and regulations, the on-the-ground responsibility for immediate fire safety and evacuation execution resides primarily with the Fire Guard in such environments.
