What role does the Fire Response Coordinator play during a fire emergency?

The role of the Fire Response Coordinator during a fire emergency primarily involves coordinating patient relocation efforts. This individual is crucial in ensuring that patients are safely moved away from harm and that the evacuation process is efficient and organized. The coordinator collaborates with medical staff, emergency services, and other personnel to facilitate a swift and safe relocation according to established protocols.

While other roles such as managing the response of the fire department, maintaining communication with hospital administration, and training staff on fire procedures are important in the broader context of fire safety and emergency preparedness, they do not encompass the primary duty of coordinating immediate patient evacuation during an active fire emergency. This focus on patient safety and coordination is what distinguishes the responsibilities of the Fire Response Coordinator in such situations.
