When the Fire and Rescue Service attend a building due to a potential fire, it is vital that they are able to ascertain the source of the activation of the fire alarm as quickly as possible.
In order to help them to do this, we provide them with a fire alarm zone plan drawing, which is mounted adjacent to the fire alarm panel. This is an accurate and clear depiction, which separates the building into colour coordinated zones, which are easy to understand at a moment’s glance. Each fire alarm zone corresponds to a specific area or section within the building, such as a floor, room, or wing.
The plan helps firefighters quickly identify the location of the fire or the area where the alarm has been triggered. Providing this information will aid a swift investigation, protecting property and saving lives.
All fire safety drawings are produced to a professional standard using the most recent CAD software.
It’s a legal requirement for commercial buildings to have a customised, up-to-date Fire Alarm Zone Plan and for it to be located near to or on the fire alarm control panel. The requirement is stated under the British Standards BS5839-1:2017 and must be an accurate diagrammatic interpretation of the building.
Fire Alarm Zone plans are important for a number of reasons, however, the overarching reason is that they help to quickly and efficiently identify which fire alarm was initially set off. This indicates in which zone the fire is likely to have started. The emergency services can look at the Fire Alarm Zone Plan and identify where the source of the fire is located, as well as the quickest route to tackle it, therefore minimising potential damage to the site and individuals inside. Individuals inside the building can also use the zone plans to find the best exit route and avoid the zone in which the fire could be active.
