The FLS Director should always consult with ____________ before implementing the non-fire emergency plan.

• A. Local Fire Department
• B. Security Manager
• C. FLS Brigade members
• D. Building Administrator

Answer: (C)

The main idea is to involve the on-site responders who will actually carry out the plan. The FLS Brigade members are trained to handle non-fire emergencies and know the building inside and out—the layout, alarm and intercom systems, escape routes, assembly points, and the exact roles people play during a response. Their input ensures the plan is realistic, safe, and coordinated with security, facilities management, and any external responders. They can help tailor procedures to how people move and communicate in real situations, confirm who initiates actions, who guides occupants, and how progress is reported up the chain of command. While other roles like the local fire department, security manager, or building administrator have important duties, the brigade is the group with the hands-on responsibility to implement the non-fire emergency actions.
