Fire Strategy
Implementing a comprehensive fire strategy is crucial for the safe occupation of any building. A well-designed fire strategy plan explains all the provisions in a building in the event of a fire and creates effective plans for prevention, detection, evacuation and firefighting.
At Appraise Fire Engineering (AFE Consultants), we’re trusted with a plethora of clients in developing fire strategy plans. No matter the size of building, whether it’s commercial or residential, our qualified fire engineer experts are committed to working with you to develop a fire strategy that is centred around protecting lives as well as your property and assets.
What is a fire strategy?
A fire strategy outlines the measures and procedures that need to be implemented to prevent, detect, and respond effectively to fires. Fire strategy plans work in tandem with fire risk assessments and by implementing fire safety measures such as developing a fire escape route and installing fire alarms, sprinkler systems, and smoke detectors, building owners can significantly reduce the risk of fire incidents and minimise their impact if they do occur.
It is important to note it is a legal requirement to implement a fire strategy for your building. You should also regularly review and update fire strategies to ensure they remain current and effective.
A thorough assessment of the building’s layout, occupancy, and potential fire hazards should be conducted to inform the development of the strategy. This includes identifying escape routes, installing appropriate fire detection and suppression systems and implementing regular maintenance and testing protocols.
