Fire Strategy Plans
Protect your building, your people, and your business with a compliant fire strategy.
At AL23 Safety, we create tailored Fire Strategy Plans to help you meet legal requirements, protect lives, and manage fire risk effectively. Whether you’re designing a new building or reviewing your current arrangements, our expert consultants will guide you through every step.
A Fire Strategy Plan is a document that sets out how a building has been designed, constructed, and managed to reduce fire risk. It includes both active and passive fire protection measures, as well as evacuation procedures, detection systems, and how the fire service can access the site.
Every building is different, which is why every fire strategy needs to be specific to the building, its use, and its occupants. A good strategy provides the foundation for your fire risk assessment and long-term fire safety management.
Why Your Building Needs a Fire Strategy
Save lives by ensuring people can evacuate safely
Limit the spread of fire and smoke
Reduce property damage
Demonstrate compliance with UK fire safety regulations
Inform and support fire risk assessments
If a strategy is missing or outdated, AL23 Safety can create or update it for you.
What Does a Fire Strategy Plan Include?
Your fire strategy plan from AL23 Safety will cover:
Fire alarms, smoke detectors, and any systems that trigger emergency measures such as releasing fire doors or closing dampers.
Escape routes, emergency lighting, signage, muster points, and the maximum allowed travel distances to safety.
Compartmentation, cavity barriers, fire-resistant construction materials, fire doors, and features that contain fire and smoke.
Assessment of fire risks to and from neighbouring buildings, cladding, and external building features like roofs.
Vehicle access routes, fire hydrants, rising mains, firefighting lifts, and other equipment or facilities to assist fire crews.
Evacuation procedures, staff roles and responsibilities, fire training, and maintenance of safety systems and equipment.
Who Should Prepare Your Fire Strategy?
A fire strategy plan should only be created by a competent person with the right knowledge and experience. At AL23 Safety, our accredited fire safety consultants and assessors deliver professional, building-specific fire strategy plans that meet legal requirements and best practice.
For complex buildings or designs that fall outside standard guidance, we work alongside chartered fire engineers to provide performance-based solutions.
When Should a Fire Strategy Be Reviewed?
You should review your fire strategy:
At the design stage of new buildings
When the layout, use, or occupancy of a building changes
After structural changes or refurbishments
After updates to fire safety systems
As part of your regular fire safety review
Even small changes can affect fire safety. AL23 Safety helps you keep your strategy up to date and fully compliant.
How We Ensure Compliance
Your fire strategy will align with UK Building Regulations, particularly Approved Document B and, where needed, BS 9999 or BS 9991.
The strategy will demonstrate how your building meets key fire safety objectives:
B1: Means of warning and escape
B2: Internal fire spread (linings)
B3: Internal fire spread (structure)
B4: External fire spread
B5: Access and facilities for the fire service
