Fire point fire action for caravan or building sign

The Fire Point Fire Action For Caravan Or Building Sign provides clear emergency instructions for people discovering a fire at a caravan, holiday park, campsite or associated building. Designed for display at designated fire points, the sign helps occupants, visitors and staff understand the immediate actions they should take if a fire is discovered.

Caravan and camping environments can present particular fire safety considerations because individual caravans, motorhomes, tents, lodges and site buildings may be located across a large outdoor area. Clearly positioned fire action information can help ensure people know how to raise the alarm, contact the emergency services and move away from danger.

The sign is suitable for caravan parks, touring sites, static caravan sites, holiday parks, camping grounds and similar leisure facilities. It may also be used at suitable buildings within these locations, including reception areas, amenity blocks, shower and toilet facilities, clubhouses, storage buildings and maintenance areas where the displayed instructions correspond with the sites emergency procedures.

Positioning the sign at a designated fire point creates a clear location where important fire safety information and, where provided, firefighting equipment can be identified. Fire points should remain visible, accessible and free from obstruction so they can be reached quickly during an emergency.

Fire action instructions should clearly explain how the alarm is to be raised. Depending on the site, this could involve operating a manual alarm, using an alarm bell or other warning device, contacting site staff or following another established emergency procedure.

The instructions should also provide appropriate information for contacting the Fire and Rescue Service. On larger caravan or holiday parks, clearly identifying the site name, address, postcode or other location information can help callers provide accurate details to the emergency services.

Where the fire involves a caravan, lodge, tent or other accommodation unit, occupants should evacuate immediately and move to a safe location in accordance with the sites emergency arrangements. People should not delay evacuation to collect personal possessions or return to an affected caravan or building until it has been confirmed safe to do so.

Fire can spread quickly between combustible materials, vehicles, caravans, awnings and other structures. Occupants should therefore keep away from the affected area and follow instructions provided by site staff or the emergency services.

Where portable firefighting equipment is provided at the fire point, it should only be used where appropriate and where it is safe to do so. Nobody should place themselves at unnecessary risk attempting to fight a developing fire, and a clear means of escape should always remain available.

The fire point and any associated equipment should not be obstructed by parked vehicles, caravans, waste containers, outdoor furniture, stored materials or vegetation. Site operators should routinely check that fire points remain clearly visible and readily accessible.

Fire action information should reflect the actual arrangements for the individual caravan site or building. Details such as alarm methods, emergency telephone information, assembly locations and site specific instructions should be accurate and reviewed whenever the premises layout or emergency arrangements change.

Where an assembly point forms part of the emergency plan, occupants should proceed to the designated location and remain there as instructed. This can assist site management in keeping people away from the incident and determining whether further action may be required.

The Fire Point Fire Action For Caravan Or Building Sign can form part of a wider fire safety signage system alongside Fire Point, Fire Extinguisher, Fire Alarm, Fire Assembly Point, Emergency Exit and No Smoking signs where these are appropriate to the particular site.

Caravan and holiday park operators should ensure that fire safety arrangements take account of the layout, occupancy, access for emergency vehicles, firefighting equipment and particular risks associated with the site. Fire action signage should be positioned as part of these wider arrangements rather than relied upon as the sole fire safety measure.

Signage should complement rather than replace a suitable fire risk assessment, emergency plan, correctly maintained firefighting equipment, staff training, suitable separation arrangements and procedures for raising the alarm and contacting the emergency services.

Manufactured from durable, high quality materials with excellent print clarity and visibility, the Fire Point Fire Action For Caravan Or Building Sign provides a professional and long lasting solution for displaying essential emergency information at caravan parks, campsites, holiday parks and associated buildings.
