Transforming Fire Safety with Real-Time Evacuation Intelligence

Fire drills and evacuation protocols are often treated as tick-box exercises - necessary but not always effective. In reality, emergencies demand live data and instant insight.

When a fire alarm sounds in a large commercial building, the primary goal is simple: get everyone out safely. However, the execution of this goal is often hampered by a lack of information. Who is still in the building? Where are they? Are they moving toward an exit?

The "Tick-Box" Trap

Traditional fire safety relies heavily on static plans and periodic drills. While these are important, they don't account for the dynamic nature of a real emergency. A building's occupancy changes by the minute, and a fire can block planned evacuation routes, rendering static plans useless.

Live Data: The Critical Difference

Unifi.id's FireGuard™ solution introduces real-time evacuation intelligence. By using presence detection technology, we provide fire safety leads and emergency responders with a live view of building occupancy during an alarm.

"In a fire emergency, every second counts. Knowing exactly where people are located allows responders to focus their efforts and save lives."

How FireGuard™ Works

FireGuard™ integrates directly with your building's fire alarm system. When an alarm is triggered, the platform instantly:

  • Generates a live occupancy report for every zone in the building.
  • Tracks the movement of people toward exits in real-time.
  • Identifies individuals who may be trapped or in need of assistance.
  • Provides emergency services with a digital "roll call" accessible on any device.

Conclusion

Fire safety is evolving from a compliance-led requirement to a data-led intelligence operation. By embracing real-time evacuation intelligence, building managers can move beyond the tick-box and provide a higher standard of protection for their occupants.
