When to use this form
Use this form during pre-incident planning to document site details that speed size-up and entry. It helps company officers, prevention staff, and facility managers capture critical data before an emergency. Complete it when a new occupancy opens, after renovations, when hazards or tenants change, or ahead of large events. It is also useful for rural water supply areas, high-rises, schools, and industrial plants. Align the plan with training using the Fire drill checklist form and verify routes with the Emergency evacuation checklist form. For higher-risk tasks and machinery, reference the Job hazard analysis form so preplans reflect current controls. The result is faster decisions, safer tactics, and clearer coordination with building staff.
Must Ask Fire Department Pre-Plan Questions
- What is the facility name, exact address, and 24/7 emergency contact?
Verified location and a reachable contact reduce dispatch errors and speed after-hours access. This prevents gate or door delays and helps crews focus on the first line and search.
- What are the construction type, occupancy, floor count, and key roof features?
These details drive fire behavior expectations, collapse risk, and ladder placement. Occupancy also indicates likely life hazards and peak staffing times.
- Where are hydrants, fire department connections, standpipes, and primary water sources?
Pre-identified water supply shortens setup and informs apparatus placement and initial tactics. It is vital for sprinklered buildings, campuses, and rural shuttle operations.
- Where are utility shut-offs (electric, gas, sprinkler/valves, HVAC) and how are they accessed?
Rapid control of utilities limits extension and protects crews from secondary ignition and shock. Listing lock types, keys, and any Knox access prevents costly delays.
- What hazardous materials and special hazards are on site, with quantities and locations?
Knowing chemicals, batteries, generators, or dust risks shapes PPE, isolation zones, and ventilation. You can align this data with your Occupational health and safety questionnaire form to keep exposure controls current.
