What Is a
Fire Zone Plan?

A fire zone plan divides your building into detection zones that map directly to the fire alarm panel. When an alarm activates, the zone number tells the panel operator and responding crews exactly where to look.

🔴

Not an evacuation plan

Fire zone plans show alarm zones and detection coverage — not escape routes. Many buildings require both. We produce them together from a single LiDAR visit, saving time and cost.

📋

Legal requirement

Required under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 for most premises with an automatic fire detection system. Your responsible person must ensure activations can be investigated promptly.

🔗

Combined package available

Fire zone plans and evacuation plans produced from a single LiDAR survey — saving time, cost and repeat access arrangements. Most buildings need both.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about fire zone plans.

Ask Us Directly
What is a fire zone plan?

A fire zone plan is a scaled drawing of your building divided into the same zones as your fire alarm panel. When an alarm activates, the zone number on the panel is cross-referenced to the plan to immediately identify the affected area. Required for most premises with an automatic fire detection system under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

What's the difference between a fire zone plan and an evacuation plan?

Fire zone plans show alarm zones to help locate the source of an alarm — operational tools for building managers and responding crews. Evacuation plans show occupants how to safely exit the building. Both serve different purposes and most buildings require both. We produce them together from a single LiDAR survey visit.

Do I legally need a fire zone plan?

Most non-domestic premises with an automatic fire detection system are required to maintain adequate fire safety records under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Fire zone plans are considered a key part of that record. Your responsible person has a duty to ensure fire alarm activations can be investigated promptly.

How long does it take?

We deliver fire zone plans within 48 hours of the LiDAR site survey. For combined packages including evacuation plans, both sets of documents are delivered together within the same timeframe.

Can you produce fire zone plans and evacuation plans together?

Yes — and this is the most cost-effective approach. A single LiDAR survey produces the spatial data for both document types. We recommend combining both services to avoid repeat access and ensure consistent floor plan data across all compliance documents.
