There are fire wardens appointed for each corridor in Silverstone. They are responsible for ensuring safe and speedy evacuation whenever the fire alarm sounds.
Fire doors are clearly marked and are located throughout the building, they must never be propped open and are to be kept closed at all times. Some fire doors are fitted with an automatic release and in the event that the fire alarm sounds these doors will close automatically.
Fire extinguishers are located throughout the building, they must never be moved or tampered with. Only trained staff are permitted to operate a fire extinguisher.
