Fire & Safety
All zone plans should be maintained to ensure the fire and rescue services can swiftly access the fire.
Where should fire alarm zone plans be located?
The fire alarm zone plan should be situated on or adjacent to the main Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE). This ensures the fire service can be quickly directed to the location of a fire. In an event of a false or unwanted alarm, this can also help identify the service provider of any problems within the detection area.
If a building has multiple panels or repeaters (e.g., in large or multi-storey sites), each one should also have a zone plan for the zones it covers.
How is a fire alarm zone plan created? As each building is different there is no ‘one- size fits all’ fire alarm zone plan template. As part of ESP’s fire design service, the company will work with clients to supply a fire zone plan unique to each individual premises where this has been agreed prior to the order being placed. Designed to the highest standard, ESP’s zone plans can be supplied as a framed hard copy or issued electronically for printing and framing as required.
