Each facility must be constructed, arranged, equipped, maintained, and operated to avoid undue danger to the lives and safety of occupants from fire, smoke, fumes, or resulting panic during the period of time reasonably necessary for escape from the structure in case of fire or other emergency. The facility shall conduct fire drills quarterly for each shift. If the facility is not operating with three shifts, monthly drills must be conducted to provide training for all personnel. At least two personnel shall be on duty at all times, unless the department has approved a staffing exception requested by the facility. In a multilevel facility, at least one personnel shall be on duty on each floor containing occupied beds.
