Evacuation
Alert Systems (EVCS)
BS 8629-compliant systems that empower fire crews to manage phased evacuations in high-rise residential buildings with speed, clarity, and control.
Evacuation Alert Systems are designed to assist fire and rescue services in safely managing phased evacuations in high-rise residential buildings. In compliance with BS 8629, these systems provide dedicated, tamper-proof control panels that allow firefighters to send evacuation alerts to individual floors or zones as needed.
EA-RS designs and installs fully compliant Evacuation Alert systems that align with your fire strategy and meet the requirements of Approved Document B, the Fire Safety Act, and local authority expectations.
Gives attending crews control over when and how residents are evacuated, avoiding panic and improving coordination during emergencies.
Mandated for many high-rise residential buildings, these systems are designed to work independently of life safety alarms and meet strict installation and performance standards.
The system remains dormant until accessed by fire services, secured by a unique key and built with robust components to prevent unauthorised use.
From new builds to retrofit applications, our systems can support a range of layouts, fire strategies, and evacuation sequences.
Keep up to date with the latest news, insights and product innovations. Our Resources Hub contains all our latest thought leadership, guides, brochures, datasheets, videos, webinars and more.
Panels are programmed to activate evacuation alerts by floor or apartment groupings, enabling phased evacuation strategies aligned to incident response.
Systems operate on a separate power supply and cabling from the main fire alarm system, increasing resilience and fault tolerance.
Each dwelling receives an alert via sounders and flashing beacons, clearly indicating the need to evacuate without confusion with standard alarms.
EA-RS assesses existing infrastructure and fire strategies to deliver bespoke systems with minimal disruption and full compliance.
