Certified fire strategy consultants
We can offer an all-encompassing fire strategy report and plan for your building.
Protecting your building, people, and assets from fire should always be a priority, and that’s where fire strategies come in. Using third-party, IFE-certified engineers here at Fire Industry Specialists (FIS) Ltd, we can help you create a robust fire safety strategy plan.
It’s stated in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 that all businesses should have a fire strategy plan. This fire strategy plan helps monitor and manage fire safety and provides a basis for reducing risk. The following are just some of the aspects our fire strategies review:
- The building itself – including the purpose, layout, and materials
- Compartmentation – including protected escape routes
- Any evacuation plans
- Warning and escape protocols
- Lining and structure impact on fire spread
- External fire spread and boundary protection
- Fire suppression and smoke ventilation
- Emergency lighting and fire safety signage
- Facilities and access for fire and rescue teams
- Measures in place to prevent arson
- Arrangements in place for training, inspection, and review

Fire Strategies FAQs
- What is a fire strategy and why is it essential for building safety?
- A fire strategy is a detailed plan that outlines how a building’s fire safety measures (prevention, detection, evacuation, structural resilience) will work together under a fire scenario. A fire strategy report describes how different zones will behave, how escape routes function, and how fire safety systems will perform over time. Without a clear fire strategy plan, buildings risk inconsistent or inadequate fire safety provisions. At FIS, our fire strategy consultants develop bespoke fire strategies and plans that integrate with your building design, ensuring compliance with UK regulations and safeguarding vital escape routes and compartmentation.
- What’s included in a fire strategy report produced by consultants?
- A comprehensive fire strategy report will assess the layout, structure, materials, means of escape, fire detection systems, and compartmentation of your building. It examines how smoke and fire could spread, proposes mitigation measures, and includes recommendations for structural protection, signage, emergency lighting, and fire safety procedures. Our fire strategy consultants at FIS compile these reports in line with best practice and statutory guidance, giving you a reliable blueprint for fire safety strategies tailored to your premises.
- When do you need a fire strategy plan or report?
- You should commission a fire strategy plan during design or refurbishment phases of any building, especially when significant fire safety adaptations or changes are involved. It’s also essential when planning new builds, mixed-use developments, high-rise projects, or where complex layouts or external fire spread risks exist. A fire safety strategy ensures that passive and active fire measures are coherent and legally defensible. FIS can support you at any stage by supplying a fire strategy report that aligns with your building’s needs and regulatory requirements.
- How do fire strategy consultants work with architects and developers?
- Fire strategy consultants collaborate directly with architects, structural engineers, and developers to integrate fire safety into the design from the outset. They review plans, model fire and smoke behavior, offer solutions for compartmentation and means of escape, and provide detailed strategies that guide passive fire protection, fire doors, fire stopping, and emergency systems. FIS’s fire strategy consultants deliver clear, actionable reports and ongoing advice to help your project meet building regulations and fire safety standards seamlessly.
- Can FIS provide fire safety strategies for all building types?
- FIS specialises in creating fire safety strategies, fire strategy reports, and fire strategy plans across a wide range of sectors, residential, commercial, education, healthcare, industrial, and more. Our fire strategy specialists tailor each plan to suit your building’s complexity, occupancy, and risks, whether it’s a low-rise development or a multi-storey structure.
