A fire drill took place yesterday morning at The Parisian, according to a statement by the Fire Services Bureau. The bureau said that they carried out the fire drill with The Parisian in order to enhance their ability to co-ordinate and act in times of emergency. The drill simulated a scenario where a hotel room on the eighth floor of the hotel caught fire, and hotel staff noticed it and evacuation and other safety measures were carried out in accordance with the internal contingency plan. After the staff informed the fire department, 24 firemen and six emergency vehicles were dispatched to extinguish the fire. The drill lasted for half an hour with around 700 participants from The Parisian and the bureau. The Parisian, a new property to be added to the Cotai casino resort inventory, is scheduled to open on September 13.
