	University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Department of University Safety and Assurances -- Emergency Preparedness - Fire ...
		Fire exit drills shall be held with sufficient frequency to familiarize all occupants with the drill procedure and to have the conduct of the drill a matter of established routine.
		Fire exit drills should be designed to familiarize the occupants with all available means of exits, particularly emergency exits that are not habitually used during the normal occupancy of the building.
		The term "fire exit drill" is used to avoid confusion between drills held for the purpose of rapid evacuation of buildings and drills of fire fighting practice that, from a technical viewpoint are correctly designated as "fire drill", although this term is by common usage applied to egress drills in schools, etc.
