Early Learning Centres(ELC) are required to prepare for fire emergencies. For all ELC's this means, having a well-designed Emergency Plan that educators can easily follow when evacuating the children. 

For Early Learning Centres in multi-storey buildings these challenges will include the locations of babies and toddlers rooms in the facility, equipment availability and the number of staff on site to be able to assist in the evacuation of children using evacuation cots, evacuation prams and baby carriers. 

Read Australian Fire Protection editorial on this subject in the November issue of Belonging Early Years Journal Volume 10. No 3.
