A fire strategy drawing is a visual representation of a building or facility’s fire prevention and response systems and procedures. It is typically used to supplement a written fire strategy report and may include the following types of information:
- A floor plan of the building or facility, showing the location of fire prevention and response systems such as sprinkler systems, smoke detectors, and fire alarms.
- The location of exit and evacuation routes.
- The location of firefighting equipment such as fire extinguishers and hose reels.
- The location of fire protection systems such as fire doors and smoke barriers.
- The location of other safety features, such as emergency lighting and first aid supplies.
Fire strategy drawings are also used in conjunction with a written report to help building occupants understand the fire safety systems and procedures in place and to know what to do in the event of a fire. They can also be useful for emergency responders, who may use the drawing to quickly location key systems and equipment when responding to fires.
