Emergency Voice Systems in Fire Suppression and Evacuation

Emergency voice systems aid fire suppression and evacuation efforts by enhancing communication between firefighters, fire wardens or marshals, and control room teams.

Emergency voice communication (EVC) systems aid fire suppression and evacuation efforts by enhancing communication between firefighters, fire wardens or marshals, and control room teams. Voice panels can be used to communicate clearly and effectively between different teams, providing information on suppression and floor clearance from both sides. When fire services arrive on site, an emergency communication system is essential for co-ordinating their efforts to effectively suppress fire and clear a building – particularly in large multi-storey premises.

Fire safety disabled refuge areas

Emergency voice communication products are also essential in assisting the evacuation of disabled people. People with limited mobility can use voice panels at refuge areas to identify their location and request assistance.

Refuge areas are required in non-domestic buildings with more than one storey, or where a fire exit is only accessible via stairs. They should be located at or close to stairways and be large enough to accommodate a wheelchair.

The purpose is to allow a disabled person to shelter safely while waiting for evacuation assistance, with open lines of communication for support.
