Fire Zone Plan FAQs
A Fire Zone Plan is a clear, diagrammatic map showing how your building is divided into specific fire alarm zones. When an alarm triggers, your fire panel displays only a zone number (e.g., “Zone 15). The zone plan translates that code into a physical location, allowing emergency responders to go straight to the problem instead of searching the entire building
Without a zone plan, alarm zone numbers are meaningless. The plan provides instant location identification – turning “Zone 15” into “South-East Corner, 3rd Floor, Server Room.” This enables firefighters and emergency teams to respond to the exact location immediately, potentially saving lives and minimising property damage
YES. In virtually all jurisdictions, building and fire codes (including BS 5839-1, NFPA, IFC, and local ordinances) mandate that buildings with multi-zone fire alarm systems have an up-to-date zone plan posted at the main fire alarm panel and/or fire command centre. Not having one results in failed inspections, fines, and potential liability issues.
It’s an essential training tool. Your staff should know how to read the fire panel and match alarm zones to physical locations. During drills or actual emergencies, they practise pinpointing the alarm source using the plan. This builds confidence, reduces panic, and ensures faster, more effective response during real incidents.
We deliver completed fire zone plans within 24-48 hours after the site survey, depending on building size and complexity. This includes full LiDAR survey, data processing, plan creation, and digital file delivery. Printed and framed plans add 2-3 days for production.
Complete LiDAR site survey, verification of all fire alarm zones against your control panel, creation of compliant diagrammatic zone plan with all required elements (zones, boundaries, exits, stairs, “you are here” marker, north point), digital files for your records, and optional professional printing on photoluminescent material with framing.
