Fire Safety

Shoreham Village’s facility was built with Fire Safety top of mind.

 Please read the following information so you know what to do in case of fire.
fireAlarm

Fire Protection Systems:

  • Smoke detectors in hallways, resident rooms and in larger common rooms.
  • A hard wired fire alarm system monitored 24/7 by a professional alarm company.
  • Automatic heat activated water sprinklers in common areas and resident rooms.
  • One hour fire wall protection for each house.
  • A ventilation system that, when the fire alarm is activated, supplies fresh air and exhausts smoke from the area of the fire.
  • A paging system and radios help us communicate. 
  • A Fire Safety and Evacuation Plan with regular staff training and practice drills.

For your safety, when the fire alarm rings:

  • Stop what you are doing.
  • Follow staff direction.
  • Listen for announcements
  • Do not use the elevators.
  • Stay calm.

When you hear the Fire Alarm Bells, know that staff are trained to:

  • Remove people from danger and clear the area.
  • Pull the nearest fire alarm.
  • Clear all rooms around the fire and if safe to do so, put the fire out with an extinguisher.
  • Evacuate residents, if necessary.

Please remember:

  • Only the Fire Department can give the “ALL CLEAR” and reset the alarm, even if it was pulled by mistake.
  • The bells sometimes increase in frequency. This is preset and is not cause for concern.
  • If you are not in your neighbourhood with the alarm rings, staff in the area where you are will take care of your safety.
  • As per Provincial Licensing Standards, we conduct fire drills monthly, are inspected annually by the Fire Marshal, and conduct a full evacuation exercise every 3 years.
  • Know the location of fire exits.
  • All door locks immediately release if the alarm is activated.
