What do you announce over the intercom during a fire drill?
Most places make no announcement over intercom pr public address systems during a fire drill. They sound the evacuation alarm (usually a bell, horn or klaxon) and people evacuate the building, just as if it were a real fire. An intercom or PA announcement may be made when the all clear is given and people reenter the building. That announcement might be something like, "This has been a drill, Thank you for your cooperation." If the intercom is the only way to alert people to the need to evacuate, then an announcement that the building is to be evacuated should be made. To make the drill most effective, it should be the same announcement that would be used in a real fire, and should not include the information that "this is a drill." So it might be something like "Attention! Attention! Please walk quickly and calmly to your nearest exit and evacuate the building." If you tell people it is a drill, some will ignore it and not evacuate - and that reduces the effectiveness of the drill.
What should an announcement contain?
An Announcement should contain the necessary information that you want people or a group of people or company to know - with all the needed details for them to understand well and comprehend the details of the announcement. It should be clear enough to be voiced out.

Why is a fire drill important at school?
A fire drill is important because of the incredible unpredictability of an actual fire. There is often very little time to decide what to do, so it is important to have experience. A fire drill allows you to practice ordinary procedures to follow during an emergency so that you are familiar with what to do and how to do it. It's also important because state and federal safety laws require a certain number of fire drills to be conducted per school year. For example, NFPA 101, the Life Safety Code® requires monthly evacuation drills in schools and other "educational occupancies."

What are the things you need for a fire drill?
A fire drill which is intended to be a fire drill. A fire drill should and needs to be a process where you do it once with telling all the occupants of the building to be prepared and talk them through it. Then, do it again unexpectedly to ensure that they still understand what to do in an event of an emergency evacuation! Sound the fire alarm for a good period of time aswell, this ensures that every gets the message that they need to leave- as only sounding it for a few seconds will cause the occupants to think that it's just a false alarm or a test and they will not doing anything. Maybe block an escape route or and exit/corridor for the fire drill purpose. To make people think of other quick ways to escape just in case that did happen in a real fire. Also alert the fire service that you will be doing a drill, some fire alarm systems automatically link to the fire service, so it will send out a hoax call causing a big fine for you!!! Some people outside the building who hear the fire alarm may also think that there maybe a fire, so just alert them!
Can you make a fire with one stick?
No you need friction to make heat to start a fire. Yes, if that stick is a "strike anywhere" matchstick! Yes you can. You can make all the parts of a bow-drill or a hand-drill fire-making kit with one piece of wood if you cut it into pieces and make the parts you need. I've done it.

A book that is used to record all the events of a fire drill. It is usually kept with an on duty officer or a fire/security officer on site that record when the fire drills occured. This is so that for any reason they can look back and find details, it also supllies proof to any fireman, fire officer that they have done fire drills as it is mostly legal every where to have one. A fire alarm log book is slightly different. It records the number of fire alarm activations of any kind, when it was tested, serviced and if any faults were recorded. This is so that engineers can easily find and detail problems easily on fire alarm systems. Please include a temperate for the drill.
How will you notify the children and staff of an emergency (such as an alarm sounding)?
First, a monthly fire drill or earthquake drill needs to be done. Staff is quietly notified that it will happen and then 3 bells will signal the start of the drill. The staff will have gone over the methods of evacuating the buildings and go to a set location away from the buildings. They will report to the administration that all students are present in their class. A bell will ring to tell all that the drill is over.
