Importance Of Fire Strategies in Building A New Property

By Fred Banbury 17 June, 2023 3 mins read

There are many fire strategies. Many fire strategies are created during the design phase for new construction. However, some fire strategy can be prepared after a property is built or has had significant renovations. Either way, building management systems must include fire strategy development. In this article we will talk about Lean FIRE and BartistaFIRE. We will also discuss how to apply these strategies when building a new property.

Lean FIRE

Financial independence experts recommend investing in Lean FIRE strategies to achieve financial independence. These strategies allow you gradually to build up your financial wealth until your goal. Your investment portfolio will begin to earn compound interest, and your income will decrease. If you stop investing, your nest egg may become unsustainable. This strategy may be an option for your initial escape hatch.

BartistaFIRE

If your retirement goals are modest, you may want to consider the Barista FIRE retirement strategy. This retirement strategy allows you to take part-time jobs in retirement, and use these jobs to supplement your income. The Barista FIRE model requires approximately $250,000 in assets and $5,000 per annum of income. However, if you can do this, you can retire early and enjoy life without a full-time job.

Retrospective fire strategy

A retrospective fire strategy is the process of reviewing the fire safety measures of an existing building and highlighting any inadequacies. A retrospective strategy is usually based on sections in the UK Building Regulations-Approved File B. It considers both operational requirements and organizational policies regarding fire safety. Retrospective fire strategy can be used for any type of building. Retrospective fire strategies allow the firefighter to examine the building's original design and review all possible escape routes.

Plan

Planning for fire strategies in case your building is unfamiliar is crucial. Evacuation plans should be created and displayed in the necessary areas. They should clearly indicate where people are expected to gather, and where firefighting equipment is needed. This information will be useful to those who are fighting the fire. Then they can make sure the building remains safe until rescuers arrive. A plan is also helpful for those who are evacuating the building.

Organisation

To create the right strategy, the fire service needs to be able collect data. These data are crucial for developing a fire prevention plan. While it does not necessarily have to be accessible at the first strategic plan meeting, it is essential to have the data available for future issues. A fire prevention division must know, in addition to the data from fire investigations, which occupancies are most frequently inspected, how often fires occur, as well as how many people have died from them.

Control

Effective control lines are a crucial part of firefighting strategy. Control lines should pass through areas of the fire where firefighting is easier, such as grasslands. Shorter routes through scrubland are often faster to construct. Routes should also be as close to the fire as possible. But crews must also consider the speed at which the fire spreads. Crews must allow enough time for the line to be completed before it reaches fire. In some instances, they may be able to use a black area as a safety zone.
