| Abstract | A joint research project was undertaken by the National Research Council of Canada (NRCC) and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) to study evacuation drills in highrise apartment buildings with mixed abilities occupants. A similar project had been carried out in 1993-94 on midrise apartment buildings. This second study collected real data on time and movement during evacuation drills in three highrise buildings. The buildings were located in Montreal, Calgary and Gloucester, Ont. These different locations reflected provincial variations in fire safety procedures. Each fire drill was organized, supervised and carried out with the full participation of local fire departments or local fire protection services. |
