Fire action notice Portable buildings caravan sites sign

This Fire Action Notice Portable Buildings Caravan Sites Fire Point Sign provides clear emergency instructions for occupants of caravan sites, campsites, holiday parks and locations using portable or temporary buildings. The sign explains the essential actions required if a fire is discovered or suspected, including raising the alarm, calling the Fire and Rescue Service, contacting reception, evacuating occupants, using firefighting equipment where safe and proceeding to the designated assembly point.

The sign is designed for display at a Fire Point or other prominent location where occupants can quickly identify the emergency procedure for the site. Clear fire action information is particularly important on caravan and holiday sites where visitors may be unfamiliar with the layout, emergency arrangements and location of firefighting equipment.

The first instruction, Raise The Alarm, reinforces the importance of immediately warning other occupants when a fire is discovered or suspected. The method used to raise the alarm will depend on the arrangements provided at the particular site and may include a manual alarm, bell, siren, call point or another recognised means of alerting occupants.

Visitors and regular site users should be familiar with the method of raising the alarm before an emergency occurs. Any alarm equipment provided at a Fire Point should remain readily accessible, clearly identifiable and maintained in accordance with the sites fire safety arrangements.

The sign instructs occupants to dial 999 for the Fire and Rescue Service. The caller should provide clear information concerning the location of the incident, including the site name, address, postcode and any relevant pitch, caravan, building or access details that may help emergency crews locate the fire quickly.

Caravan and camping sites can cover large areas and may have several entrances, internal roads or numbered pitches. Clearly identifying the affected location and the best emergency vehicle access route can help the Fire and Rescue Service reach the incident without unnecessary delay.

A dedicated space is provided for the reception telephone number. This allows the site operator to display the appropriate contact details so reception or site management can be informed of the emergency and take any actions required under the sites fire procedure.

The displayed reception number should be accurate, clearly legible and kept up to date. Where different emergency contact arrangements apply outside normal reception hours, these should be communicated separately where required by the sites emergency plan.

The sign instructs occupants to ensure that all people in the caravan or building are evacuated. Prompt evacuation is particularly important because fires involving caravans, mobile accommodation and some portable structures can develop rapidly.

Occupants should move away from the affected caravan or building and should not delay evacuation to collect personal belongings. Where neighbouring units may be threatened by fire or smoke, occupants should follow the sites emergency procedures and instructions from site staff or the Fire and Rescue Service.

The sign states that, if practical, the fire may be tackled but clearly warns occupants not to endanger themselves or others while doing so. This helps reinforce that personal safety and evacuation should take priority over attempts to extinguish a fire.

Firefighting equipment should only be used where the correct equipment is available, the person is capable of using it safely, the fire is sufficiently small to tackle and a clear means of escape remains available. Nobody should move towards a developing fire or remain in dangerous conditions simply to use an extinguisher or other firefighting appliance.

Fire Points on caravan and camping sites may contain or identify equipment such as fire extinguishers, fire alarm facilities or other emergency equipment according to the arrangements for the particular site. Access to these facilities should remain clear and unobstructed at all times.

The sign provides a blank space for the designated assembly point. This information should be completed accurately before the sign is installed so that visitors and other occupants understand where they should gather following evacuation.

A clearly identified assembly point helps move people away from the immediate incident and can support procedures for accounting for occupants. People at the assembly point should remain in a safe location and follow any instructions given by site management or the Fire and Rescue Service.

The final statement encourages all occupiers of the site to become familiar with the fire routine, the method of raising the alarm and the operation of the firefighting equipment. Familiarity with these arrangements before an emergency can help occupants respond more effectively if a fire occurs.

This Fire Action Notice is suitable for caravan parks, touring caravan sites, campsites, holiday parks, static caravan sites, mobile home parks, temporary accommodation areas, portable buildings and associated site facilities where the displayed instructions correspond with the established emergency procedure.

The sign can be positioned at designated Fire Points, reception areas, communal facilities, amenity buildings and other prominent locations identified within the sites fire risk assessment and emergency arrangements.

Fire Points and emergency access routes should remain visible and accessible and should not be obstructed by parked vehicles, caravans, awnings, outdoor furniture, waste containers or other equipment. Site management should ensure emergency arrangements remain suitable as occupancy and site layouts change.

Any blank reception telephone number and assembly point details should be completed accurately and reviewed periodically. The information should be updated whenever contact numbers, site layouts, assembly points or emergency procedures change.

This Fire Action Notice can form part of a wider site safety signage system alongside Fire Point, Fire Assembly Point, Fire Extinguisher, Emergency Access, No Smoking and other fire safety signs appropriate to the particular location and risk assessment.

The wording displayed should accurately reflect the approved emergency arrangements for the individual caravan site or portable building location. Fire action signage should complement rather than replace a suitable fire risk assessment, emergency plan, maintained firefighting equipment, clear emergency access routes and appropriate information for site occupants.

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with excellent print clarity and visibility, this Fire Action Notice Portable Buildings Caravan Sites Fire Point Sign provides a professional and long lasting solution for communicating essential fire emergency procedures at caravan sites, campsites, holiday parks and portable building locations.
