Introducing Fire & Evacuation Services on SWPA’s Fire Safety Framework
Fire & Evacuation Services is a private fire service that operates throughout the UK, as well as being internationally renowned. The organisation was formed to assist businesses, event organisers and public sector clients in meeting all-important and relevant fire safety requirements.
The team consists of a varied selection of operational and highly qualified firefighters, with over one hundred combined years of firefighting experience within the UK Fire & Rescue Service, including many years as Fire Officers and Incident Commanders at a range of high profile incidents.
Fire & Evacuation Services is an Appointed Company on the South West Procurement Alliance’s (SWPA) Fire Safety (FS2) Framework. The Fire Safety (FS2) Framework operating throughout the South West of England has been developed to provide an excellent choice for clients to access a range of fire safety specialists, designed to facilitate greater collaboration between suppliers and the public sector, while continuing to provide an efficient, value for money procurement route to ensure protection from fire within their properties.
There are four main workstreams on the Fire Safety (FS2) Framework, namely Fire Safety Consultancy and Risk Management, Fire Safety Installations, Fire Safety Servicing and Maintenance, and Cladding Remediation. Fire and Evacuation Services is currently appointed to the Waking Watch Lot, and offer this service throughout the entirety of the South West.
Fire & Evacuation Services are able to offer the waking watch fire service to our clients providing additional manned fire risk mitigation which supports our clients’ evacuation strategy. The waking watch service consists of suitably trained individuals who will continually patrol the interior and exterior areas of a building in order to ensure early detection of a fire, and where necessary raise the alarm and assist in the safe evacuation of tenants from the building.
Fire & Evacuation Services pride themselves on their waking watch services. The team are firefighters, and they take immense pride in pioneering the role of Evacuation Management and elevating the standards of what an organisation can expect from a waking watch. They have cultivated a high level of competence and experience drawn from their extensive Fire & Rescue backgrounds, further strengthened by their combined expertise gained from their roles as Fire Wardens.
They are versatile and capable of working with a huge variety of building types. They emphasise the paramount importance of ensuring the safety and welfare of not only the public sector properties themselves but, more crucially, the residents, visitors, and employees.
