I know everyone in this video, the hospital that they are using is Hartford Hospital in Hartford CT, in 1962 Hartford Hospital suffered a tremendous loss when a fire broke out on the 8th floor of the hospital. The NFPA since then has used the hospital in a new safety video every 10 years.
Seems a little disappointing that at least 2 of the 4 firefighters that stepped out of the stairwell didn't have their flash hood pulled while wearing their face piece in an NFPA video. Good education for hospital staff, though.
In case of horizontal evacuation, it's pretty dangerous to move the beds from one department to another department. It can cause huge blockades in the corridors. What happens if a big fire would spread and more departments require evacuation, it would mean that loads of corridors are fully blocked with hospital beds? This can have detrimental effects...
YES this is still procedure, even today, this is the only reason to evacuate someone who can’t walk. You cannot carry someone because they’re at risk of falling.

Dude, they are actors. This isn't an instructional video for firefighters, you missed the point.
0:30 and 4:31 - It's pretty ironic (or maybe cool) that the guy is actually working on a fire alarm notification appliance.

No okay fire alarm
people really not out the fire alarm
3:26 what is the Simplex T-Bar doing here?
The outdoor building looked like Hartford hospital.
Regarding 3:41.. Is this still the evacuation procedure for bed-bound patients in most care facilities?
David Dempsey Not in most modern hospitals ; The standards change all the time so yes it probably changed

spewqueen Hartford Connecticut hospital
@@urmum5385 Pretty ironic it's the Hatrford hospital! This hospital had a terrible fire with 16 deaths in 1961....
This makes me feel better, a fire in a hospital is one of my number one fears!
What would a hospital be like if it didn't have a fire alarm system?
jediskunk67 That is illegal
That is
