Fire Evacuation Plans
Below is a guide for the development of fire evacuation
plans. This guide
is to be used for all emergency, safety, and evacuation plans.
Following the guide will meet the requirements of the International Fire
Code. For your convenience in developing your own plan, we have also
included several example evacuation plans for apartment buildings and a
restaurant/bar. Within the Apartment
Evacuation Plan Example, you will find examples for 4-unit, 8-unit,
and 16-unit apartment complexes. Each apartment example includes a
Fire Evacuation & Safety Plan, along with a sample Evacuation Floor
Plan. All the plans provided are For Example Only.
Once you have finalized the plan(s) for your facility,
please forward a copy to the City of Madison Fire Department. The
fire department will review the plan to ensure it satisfies the
requirements of the guide.
Planning is only the first step in emergency
preparedness. Employees and managers need to be trained on how to
respond to emergencies. Responsibilities, accountability methods and
consequences must be conveyed. Finally, the plan must be practiced
to ensure that the plan works. The fire department's Community
Education Unit can assist with staff training and can help coordinate a
fire drill. Please contact our Community
Education Unit at 608-266-4420.
In conclusion, the guide and examples below have been
provided to assist in developing safety plans. It is the
responsibility of every property owner to make sure employees, occupants,
residents, and guests have a plan for responding to emergencies.
