Just a friendly reminder to our northern guards; in winter, many fire escapes are located in areas that aren't cleared for snow, therefore a pileup of said snow can cause them to be difficult, if not impossible to operate. If you can (and they aren't alarmed) try to open each door at least once a shift. Also, remember that you can be in violation of fire codes requiring emergency fire exits if the doors can be opened but high amounts of snow makes it difficult to walk to safety...

Not much snow here! But it is a good idea to check exits for blockages of all types!

Here in Minnesota it is a part of our life for about half the year. Even though snow removal doesn't fall under our department, I have never been shy about grabbing a shovel and some salt and getting to work.
I have worked security jobs in the past were some shoveling was expected. I never had a problem with it since keeping people safe and keeping exits clear is most definitely part of our role.

It's been very cold for this time of year here in Montreal for the past week or so. ( -13C tonight). Our doorways are being blocked by homeless people camping out. They find rarely used doorways that are out of the wind, put down cardboard & sleep in sleeping bags. Sometimes 2 or 3 in a small doorway. In case of an emergency they would be blocking the door.I enforce rules and regulations, not laws.

Im not worried about it. My mall employs an army of snow plow contractors. They will call around 0300-0400 and ask what its like on property. The 3rd Shift Officer will let them know and within an hour they got bulldozers, snow pushers, plows, back-hoe's, etc. The tenants themselves are their worst enemy. They will plie trash by their rear exit either inside their store or outside the rear exit into the corridor."I am not a hero. I am a silent guardian, a watchful protector"

The contractor who plows in and around our Gatehouse, had been up for
36 hours plowing. He has about a dozen Dunkin' Donouts parking lots, and
quite a few church parking lots. God bless the snow plow drivers.http://www.laurel-and-hardy.com/ Greatest Comedy team ever!

I remember one site I worked, it was not snow we had to move away from fir exits but druggies and their used syringes.
