All of the occupants so notified shall immediately leave the building, structure or premises and persons shall not enter or re-enter until authorized to do so by the Fire Official.
(b) Any person who refuses to leave, interferes with the evacuation of other occupants, or continues any operation after having been given an evacuation order except such work as that person is directed to perform to remove a violation or unsafe condition, shall be in violation of this Fire Prevention Code.
