    The emergency evacuation signal that my department uses is one, air horn blasts from one of the on scene fire apparatus outside of the calls structure. This airhorn blast consists of a sequence of 3 airhorn blasts with a pause then 3 more sequenced airhorn blasts. This sequenced airhorn blast can last up to a full minute. There is also a redundant system of fire com using a emergency tone and calling for the evacuation. After the tone and call for a full evacuation of the structure a par is given by fire com of all interior crews to the incident commander and all exiting crews must notify the incident commander with a notification of exiting the structure and a par of crew. After all crews have exited the structure fire com does a secondary par for redundancy.
