Fire Brigade Plans
Fire brigade plans in accordance with DIN 14095 are indispensable documents for fire brigade operations. They help to quickly assess the situation in a building or on a site and take targeted action. In structured form, they contain all relevant information about the property – from the building structure to escape and rescue routes, extinguishing systems, and special hazards. Fire brigade plans enable targeted operation planning and gain crucial seconds in an emergency.
When is a fire brigade plan necessary?
A fire brigade plan is often not just recommended but mandatory. It is particularly required for buildings with a fire alarm system that automatically forwards alarms to the fire brigade. Requirements from the fire protection concept, requirements from the building permit authority, or requirements from the local fire department can also make the creation of a fire brigade plan necessary. As a general rule, the necessity of a fire brigade plan can be derived from the building law documents.
Legal requirements under DIN 14095
The creation and maintenance of fire brigade plans are clearly regulated in DIN 14095. Accordingly, the plans must always reflect the current structural condition. A qualified person is required to review the fire brigade plan at least every two years and update it if necessary. In addition, coordination with the responsible fire protection authority is mandatory. Only in this way can it be ensured that the fire brigade plan will be fully effective in an emergency.
Components of a fire brigade plan
A complete fire brigade plan consists of several elements that together provide a comprehensive overview. These include:
general property information,
an overview plan,
floor plans with detailed information,
additional explanations and special plans if applicable.
All information must correspond exactly to the actual condition of the building or site. Before creation, it should always be checked whether the responsible fire protection authority provides additional requirements or guidance sheets.
