Fire policy and evacuation plan

Fire Policy & Evacuation Plans for Commercial and Residential Buildings

A Fire Policy and Evacuation Plan sets out how fire safety is managed within a building and explains, in clear terms, what occupants should do if a fire occurs. It is a practical, working document that defines responsibilities, emergency procedures, and evacuation arrangements in a way that can be easily understood and followed.
Our Fire Policy and Evacuation Plan services support landlords, managing agents, and employers across London, Leicestershire, and Manchester. Each plan is written specifically for the building it relates to, reflecting how the premises are actually occupied and managed, rather than relying on generic templates. The result is clear, inspection-ready documentation that supports both compliance and real-world safety.

Legal Duties and British Standards

Fire Policies and Evacuation Plans form part of a responsible person’s legal duties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Additional obligations may apply under the Fire Safety Act 2021 and the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022, particularly for multi-occupied residential buildings and higher-risk premises.

Our Fire Policy and Evacuation Plan documentation is prepared with reference to recognized guidance, including:

  • BS 9999 – Fire safety in the design, management and use of buildings
  • BS 5839 – Fire detection and fire alarm systems
  • BS 5266 – Emergency lighting systems
  • PAS 79 – Fire Risk Assessment guidance

All plans are aligned with the findings of the building’s Fire Risk Assessment, ensuring consistency across your fire safety documentation.
