It was asked how much time would be needed; it was estimated to be about one hour. <br />Darren suggested some guidance information be put out to all who work in the Courthouse on how to <br />proceed if there is a fire. This way folks are prepared for the drill. Then plan the date for some time in <br />2026. In planning the date, the Courts need to be consulted to make sure it happens during a time that will <br />impact them the least.
