ABOUT THIS SERVICE
What Are Fire Strategy Reports?
A Fire Strategy Report is a formal document that sets out how a building is intended to perform in the event of a fire. It explains the principles behind fire resistance, means of escape, compartmentation, detection, alarm systems, and ongoing management arrangements.
Fire strategies may be developed for existing buildings, new developments, refurbishments, or where clarification is required following inspection or enforcement activity.
The report provides a single, coherent reference point that aligns physical fire protection measures with operational fire safety management.

WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
Why Fire Strategy Reports Matter
Many buildings operate without a clearly documented fire strategy, particularly where layouts have evolved over time or multiple surveys have been carried out independently.
Without a clear strategy, assumptions are made about how fire safety measures interact.
A Fire Strategy Report provides:
Clarity on how the building is intended to perform in a fire
Alignment between physical fire protection and management procedures
Support during audits, inspections, or enforcement action
A defensible position for insurers and duty-holders
A framework for future alterations or maintenance
For Responsible Persons, the report acts as both guidance and evidence.

COMPLIANCE
Associated Fire Safety Legislation and Standards
Fire Strategy Reports support compliance with:
Fire (Scotland) Act 2005
Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006
Scottish Technical Handbooks (Non-Domestic)
BS 9999 – Code of practice for fire safety design, management, and use
Scottish Fire and Rescue Service guidance
While not always explicitly mandated, a fire strategy is often expected for complex, altered, or higher-risk premises.
THE RISKS OF INACTION
What Happens Without a Fire Strategy
Where no clear fire strategy exists:
Fire safety measures may conflict or be misapplied
Alterations may undermine life safety provisions
Enforcement discussions may lack clarity
Insurers may request additional justification or surveys
Responsibility and accountability may be unclear
Decision-making during incidents may be compromised
Inconsistency and assumption increase risk.
