Think of a couple scenarios that the Fire Wardens may come across, keeping them realistic and challenging. E.g. A number of false alarms have happened involving the same smoke detector as identified on the fire alarm panel, this has been apparently been reported and apparently rectified. The fire alarm has activated and the same smoke detector has been identified on the panel what action do you take? Then get the Fire Warden to talk through their actions using leading questions Why, When, etc

I used to a lot of these type of exercises in a previous job and would simulate various incidents from a fire alarm actuating and a possible fire behind a closed door, to a large fire requiring the evacuation of disabled persons.I would go further that Chris's advice and say a largish scale drawing of the building is absolutely essential. I would spend a long time explaining aspects of the plan that most of us here might take for granted (but people in other jobs might not understand) - such as the direction of the stairs and which ways the doors open. I would ask the student's to show me where the tea machine was, where they hang their coat etc, until they were confident with understanding the plans. Then a quick run through fire compartmentation (showing fire resisting walls & fire doors), the fire alarm set up and how progressive horizontal evacuation works. Then a detailed reminder of the emergency plan (by quizzing them) before moving onto the scenarios. Each person around the table would be given a role (manager, deputy, fire warden etc). I'd place a coin on the plans in the room where the fire was, or suspected. Everyone would talk me through their roles and actions. This interactive training aint cheap as you can only really have up to 8/9 or 10 maximum around the table before it gets too crowded. But students really get into it, eve if they are somewhat reserved at the beginning. They learn the actions they should take, and what others are doing around them. Lastly, on a handful of occasions, a serious flaw in the emergency plan was discovered during these virtual walk throughs. The flaw would have potentially been life threatening and had been missed several times by the likes of me - a visitor to the building with no deep understanding of what goes on there. I'd certainly recommend table tops exercises as an efficient way of training and testing procedures
