What should a Fire Station tour guide inform visitors about in case an alarm is dispatched?

Informing visitors about the protocol to follow during an alarm is crucial for ensuring their safety and understanding how the fire station operates in emergency situations. It provides clear instructions on what individuals should do if an alarm is sounded, including remaining calm, following the lead of the firefighters, or evacuating in an orderly manner. By understanding the protocol, visitors can better appreciate the operational aspects of the fire department and the importance of maintaining safety during emergencies.

In contrast, while knowing the evacuation route, the location of fire exits, and duties of firefighters is valuable information, the core focus during a station tour needs to be on what actions visitors should take in the event of an alarm. This ensures that participants are prepared and aware of their responsibilities in the moment, rather than just understanding the physical layout or firefighter responsibilities.
