Emergency evacuation questions

Reading an old report on a 747 incident. After landing, an engine fire was reported and the command to the flight attendants to be prepared for an evacuation was given. The command is "Easy Victor". Is this a widespread command in the airline industry? I've never heard of it before.

Also prior to their emergency landing, the upper deck pax were moved to the lower deck(294 total on board). While that would mean a lower height for pax to evacuate from, wouldn't it lead to an overall longer evacuation time due to less useable exits?
