Hi Julie,
We have internal fire cells and aim to evacuate horizontally in the first instance. We evacuate patients in the following order – mobile, semi-mobile & non-mobile. If we have to evacuate a building via stair wells we have evacuation chairs in our stair lobbies to use. Patients would be taken on beds as far as close as they can to the stairs and if time portable hoist used to get from bed to evac chair. If time is limited then manually moved. Hope this helps
