fire wardens

Emergency evacuation coordinators

Fire wardens are people designated to coordinate emergency response during fires, typically in workplaces or public buildings.

They guide evacuations, ensure exits are clear, account for occupants, and liaise with firefighters.

Most organizations appoint several across different areas: Each floor has two fire wardens.

In forestry contexts, fire wardens monitor for wildfires and enforce fire safety regulations.
