(e) Alternate exit routes must be used during fire drills to react to varying potential fire origin points. (f) The evacuation capability of the residents and staff is a function of both the ability of the residents to evacuate and the assistance provided by the staff. (g) Staff must provide fire evacuation assistance to residents from the building to a designated point of safety as determined by the Fire Authority having jurisdiction. Points of safety may include, outside the building, through a horizontal exit, or other areas as determined by the Fire Authority having jurisdiction. (h) The fire alarm system shall be activated during each fire drill, unless otherwise directed by the Fire Authority having jurisdiction.

Changes must include, but not be limited to: (a) Increasing staff levels, (b) Changing staff assignments, (c) Requesting change in resident rooms, and (d) Arranging for special equipment. After making necessary changes, if the facility fails to meet the applicable evacuation level, the facility must issue an involuntary move-out notice to the residents in accordance with OAR 411-054-0080. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on interview and record review, it was determined the facility failed to ensure fire drills were conducted every other month and recorded according to the Oregon Fire Code (OFC), and fire and life safety instruction was provided to staff on alternate months. Findings include, but are not limited to: Upon survey’s entrance to the facility on 01/27/26, four months of facility fire drill and fire and life safety records, dated 08/2025 through 12/2025, were requested.
