Fire Marshals

Fire Marshal Services

At DFBS-FM Ltd, our dedicated fire marshals are specially trained in fire prevention and safe evacuation of residents. Before implementing our fire marshal services, we will carefully assess your specific requirements and fire safety concerns and then work with you to carry out a bespoke fire marshalling solution.

Responsibilities of our Fire Marshals

The day-to-day responsibilities of the fire marshal will depend on the organisations fire risk assessment but will generally include the testing of fire alarms; checking emergency exits are clear, fire extinguishers are fully functioning and fire safety signs are visible; ensuring electrical items are PAT tested and organising fire drills regularly so that residents are aware of the procedure in case of a fire. Our fire marshals also carry out and review risk assessments regularly and maintain any necessary paperwork.

In the event of a fire

A risk of fire is significantly low when our fire marshals are carrying out their duties. In the unlikely event of a fire, our fire marshal will alert emergency services and carry out a safe evacuation, following a detailed procedure. Fire marshals will do this by:

• Raising the alarm, if It has not already been done;

• Guiding people out of the building through emergency exits, and aiding vulnerable residents (e.g. disabled or pregnant);

• Conducting a methodical search of the premises to check all areas have been fully evacuated, including communal areas.

• Fighting the fire with appropriate extinguishers if is safe to do so;

• Making sure no one re-enters the premises until it has been made safe; and

• Gathering information and reporting all information to the Fire Officer in charge.
