The term "fire protection plans" refers to graphically supported plans that systematically display fire safety–related information within a building or premises. They are a core element of preventive fire protection and serve to help emergency services, employees, and visitors quickly orient themselves and take appropriate action in case of an incident. Fire protection plans can be legally required and must be updated regularly.
Common types include fire department plans, escape and rescue plans, fire alarm system routing cards, or seating plans with evacuation routes for public assembly spaces.
Plan creation and editing: Generation of to-scale floor plans using symbol libraries according to DIN or ISO standards.
Symbol libraries: Access to standardized fire protection symbols (e.g., fire extinguishers, wall hydrants, escape routes, emergency exits).
Automatic updates: Synchronization of plans with updated building data or architectural plans.
Version control and change tracking: Documentation of changes for compliance and audit trails.
Export and printing functions: Output of print-ready plans for postings, fire department folders, or digital distribution (PDF, DWG, etc.).
Multilingual support: Creation of multilingual escape and rescue plans for international facilities.
Integration with CAFM systems: Linking fire protection plans with maintenance or inspection processes in facility management.
Cloud-based management: Central access to current plans via web-based platforms for internal and external stakeholders.
