Fire Alarm Zone Plans

At Bentley Fire Solutions, we provide professionally prepared Fire Alarm Zone Plans to ensure your premises comply with current fire safety legislation. Based in Worcester and serving clients throughout the UK, we understand the critical importance of having accurate, up-to-date zone plans to support emergency response and fire prevention. These plans are essential visual tools placed at the main fire alarm panel and reflect the building layout, clearly identifying all detection zones. In the event of an alarm activation, they assist occupants and emergency responders in quickly pinpointing the affected area, reducing response times and enhancing life safety..

Why Are They Needed?

Fire Alarm Zone Plans are a legal requirement under BS5839-1:2017. They must be clear, accurate and positioned at the fire alarm control panel to provide immediate reference. These plans are vital for fire wardens, facilities managers and emergency services, helping them to interpret alarm activations efficiently. Without them, locating a fire within the building becomes time-consuming and potentially dangerous.

Types of Zone Plans Available

Standard Zone Plans
Our Standard Zone Plans display all fire alarm zones across the building using simple colour-coded layouts. These are suitable for most standard commercial or residential properties.

Site Zone Plans

For multi-building sites, we provide Site Zone Plans that give an overview of all buildings and their respective alarm zones, providing a holistic and accessible safety overview for larger premises.

High Rise Zone Plans

High Rise buildings require specific formatting and clarity in vertical layouts. We design these to reflect floor-by-floor fire detection zones with clear vertical orientation.

Smoke Ventilation Zone Plan

These plans illustrate smoke vent systems and how they interact with the building’s fire detection zones, ensuring compliance and improving evacuation safety in smoke-affected areas.

Emergency Voice Communication

We provide plans that incorporate Emergency Voice Communication (EVC) systems, helping responders identify refuge areas and EVC locations throughout the site.

Fire Alarm/EVCS Combined Zone Plans

For properties that utilise both fire alarm and EVCS systems, we offer integrated plans that clearly communicate both systems’ zones in a single, comprehensive document.
