Burnley.
From £295 · Site-specific
A site-specific fire evacuation plan produced by ABBE Level 4 qualified assessors for your Burnley premises. Not a template — a document that reflects your building, your occupants, and your escape routes.
Fire evacuation plan for Burnley.
Our head office is based in Chester, and our team regularly works in Burnley and our team regularly produces fire evacuation plans for businesses, landlords, and property managers across Burnley and the surrounding Lancashire area.
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires every responsible person to have a documented emergency evacuation plan — a written procedure that records what happens when a fire alarm sounds, who does what, where occupants go, and how the fire service is met on arrival. A generic template downloaded from the internet is not adequate. The plan must reflect your specific building, your specific escape routes, and your specific occupancy.
Lancashire Fire & Rescue covers Burnley and expects to see a current, site-specific evacuation plan as part of any fire safety audit. Burnley Council operates licensing. An absent or clearly generic plan is a finding that can result in an enforcement notice.
Where we have already carried out a fire risk assessment for your Burnley premises, we can produce the evacuation plan from that assessment — the escape routes, assembly point, and occupancy profile are already documented, which means faster turnaround and a plan fully consistent with the assessment findings.

A fire evacuation plan produced by Fletcher Risk Management is not a generic template with your address on the cover. It is a building-specific document, produced by the same qualified assessors who carry out your fire risk assessment, and it reflects the actual layout of your building, your actual escape routes, and your actual occupancy.
Everything the FSO requires. Nothing generic.
01 — Building & escape routes
Every route, every exit, every floor
A clear description of all means of escape referenced to the specific building. Where routes serve different zones or have different capacities, this is reflected in the plan.
02 — Alarm & detection
What happens when the alarm sounds
The type of alarm system in place, how it activates, what different signals mean, and the immediate action required from staff and occupants on hearing each one.
03 — Roles & responsibilities
Named duties for every fire marshal role
Specific responsibilities assigned to named roles — sweep duties, assembly point management, liaison with the fire service, and the responsible person's obligations during the incident.
04 — Assembly point
Location, route, and roll call procedure
The specific assembly point, the route from each exit, the procedure for accounting for all occupants, and the arrangements for communicating with the incident commander.
05 — PEEP provisions
Assisted evacuation arrangements
Where any occupants may need assistance to evacuate, the plan identifies the provision in place and the staff assigned to assist.
06 — Special circumstances
Out of hours, lone working, high-risk periods
Evacuation arrangements that differ from the standard procedure — reduced staffing, lone working, and high-occupancy periods — are addressed specifically.
Every premises type has its own evacuation challenges.

Is a fire evacuation plan a legal requirement?
Yes. The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires documented fire safety arrangements including an evacuation procedure. Lancashire Fire & Rescue expects to see a current, site-specific plan during any fire safety audit.
