(a) Fire drills shall be held at least twice a month in public, private and parochial schools, and other educational institutions, and at least once every two months in public and private institutions, sanitoriums, asylums, and hospitals; provided, that during severe weather, drills may be postponed to avoid endangering the health of people and inmates. A record of all fire drills shall be kept and persons in charge of such institutions shall file written reports at least quarterly with the Bureau of Fire Prevention giving the time and date of each drill held.
(b) In schools and educational institutions, fire drills shall include complete evacuation of all persons from the building. This is also required in institutions where the type of occupancy makes it practicable. In sanitoriums and hospitals, drills shall be conducted to familiarize all hospital personnel with their assigned posts of emergency duty.
