what about the bow-drills or hand drills used to make fire without matches or other modern methods? The topic is probably posted elsewhere, but there should be a link.
I think it's weird that an unplanned fire alarm activation does not count as a fire drill in New Zealand. It's a little redundant. If the fire alarms were legitimately activated and everyone evacuated according to plan, you definitely got the practice in. I know that schools have to plan them in advance. This would be like America's Emergency Alert System - you don't have to do a Weekly Required Test when the EAS has been activated legitimately.

Where does it say in the statute that fire drills must be unannounced and at random intervals? SchuminWeb ( Talk) 22:29, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
I put the limited geographic scope on this page because there is a lot of information on U.S fire drills but nothing on other countries. If I can spare the time, I will try and improve this article.

I'd like to see something about fire readiness procedures in China, even if only to distinguish it from the other kind of Chinese fire drill. But I imagine it might not be easy because of the kung fu net. -- Damian Yerrick ( talk) 18:26, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
I don't understand why it makes sense to include in this article the fact that the term fire drill is often used as a shortened form of a chinese fire drill if we aren't going to also say that, as a matter of fact, people often use the this phrase without the pejorative connotation. I say we either properly explain the way "fire drill" is actually used or we leave the whole matter about its use out. -- 24.2.93.224 05:29, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Very important article about New Jersey's fire drill law! They may continue with 2 fire drills per month and require 1 security drill per month! http://www.njpsa.org/agr/news.cfm?newsid=941 167.93.38.143 ( talk) 14:41, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
I dislike the tendency towards
Yellow Journalism in so much of the Wikipedia content. "Controversy about Fire Drills" get real! There might be some room to debate whether a color-coded fire drill would have helped in any disaster situation. Mitchell Johnson and Andrew Golden did not achieve their "target", so predictability of target movements didn't optimize lethality in their attack. Variability doesn't seem like a useful factor. As a substitute teacher myself, the concept of trying to know where several different staging points are could make a fire drill a career-ending day for a sub. I think that the way that I've worded the W content now encourages people to read the cited article without trying to sensationalize it. Since I went through the cited article (bleeack!!), I could hardly see evidence that these were thoughts from more than one person and I'll add my editorial that that particular author might want to model his ideas. In a real emergency, the time spent waiting to hear what color was announced over the public address system to assemble at could equate to lives lost. I doubt that most PA systems are tied to emergency power.

MathInclined - I'm not a teacher, but I agree with you. Waiting for someone to go over the PA and state which color the emergency is can be a life-or-death situation. User:CoolSwitch4212 —Preceding undated comment added 15:18, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
