Fire reporting procedures

• Every UK airport will have their own Fire Emergency Evacuation Plan (FEEP) 
• It is a written document, which includes the action to be taken by staff in the event of fire and the arrangements for calling the fire authorities
• It can include any relevant information in relation to planning for emergency fires

Fire reporting procedures

In a group think about what procedures would be included in an airport's Fire Emergency Evacuation Plan (FEEP)?

Fire reporting procedures

Typical fire reporting procedures in a FEEP include:

• Fire evacuation strategy – Plan for quickest routes to places of safety, away from premises or area of fire (assembly points)
• Action on discovering a fire – raise alarm
• Action on hearing the fire alarm – evacuate to safe area, don’t use lifts/escalators. May use fire wardens to help members of public
• Calling the fire brigade – individual who discovers fire - immediate
• Power/process isolation – in area of fire may need to close off power supply /fuel or certain areas of the Airport /Ramp
• Identification of key escape routes – staff to be familiar with escape plan and stick to it

Fire reporting procedures

• Fire wardens/marshals – appointed by airport – trained in fire safety, role to oversee /help evacuation
• Assembly Points– should be sign-posted, fire wardens oversee and are responsible for head count and instruction to go back in
• Fire fighting equipment – fire wardens trained to operate
  
• Training  –  mostly specific to fire wardens, although fire drills should be regular for all staff to know emergency evacuation plan 
• Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan – PEEP – for staff /pax with disabilities or sensory impaired – a plan for how to evacuate in their specific circumstances
• Liaison with emergency services – keep emergency services familiar with the FEEP and update on regular basis e.g. fire service
