A ward cannot be evacuated like an office. Here is how a fire alarm and a plan work together.
Key takeaways
- Early warning
- Zones that match your plan
- Sounders and lights
- Linked to the plan
01The problem
In a hospital many people cannot walk out. A fire alarm has to warn staff early and show where the trouble is, so the plan can start at the right place. The alarm is half of safety; the plan and training are the other half. Confirm your requirements with your fire adviser and regulator.

| Zone plan | Matches the evacuation plan |
| Detector types | Suit each room |
| Sounders | Audible and not alarming to every patient |
| Your requirements | Confirm with your fire adviser |
| Maintenance | A plan, spares and a response time agreed before you buy |
