(1) There shall be quarterly emergency fire drills for each staff shift. Two of the drills shall include evacuations, unless approved by the department, in writing, as clinically contraindicated. Where a facility has a 24-hour staff shift, the emergency drills shall be conducted at different times of the day and night. Written records shall be maintained for each drill indicating the date and time of the drill and, where evacuation was a part of the drill, the approximate evacuation time.

(2) A telephone or other suitable means of communicating an alarm of fire to the fire department shall be provided. Pay stations are not a suitable means of communicating alarms. The telephone number of the fire department shall be posted conspicuously by all phones designated for outside service.
