Fire Alarm Zone Plan
Fire Alarm Zone Plans are comprehensive diagrams that provide clear depictions of firefighting equipment and pertinent system details unique to the site. Fire Alarm Zone Plans are primarily utilized by the fire brigade to devise effective strategies for controlling emergencies and to identify the precise locations of fire equipment.
Purpose: To show the division of a building into distinct fire alarm zones, which correspond to specific areas or sections covered by the fire alarm system.
Content: Must include building entrances and exits, main circulation areas (like corridors and stairwells), and clearly defined zones to help emergency services locate the source of an alarm quickly.
Placement: The plan must be displayed next to the Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE), or fire alarm panel, to provide instant information to building occupants and firefighters.
Core functions
The primary purpose is to help anyone responding to a fire alarm quickly identify the exact location of the activation within the building.
By providing instant location information, it enables the fire and rescue service to assess the situation faster and act more effectively.
Building occupants can use the plan to understand which area is affected, supporting efficient and safe evacuation procedures.
A zone plan is a mandatory requirement in the UK to ensure a fire alarm system meets the standards set by BS 5839-1.
The ability to locate and respond to a fire quickly is essential for saving lives and mitigating harm during an incident.
