Resorts should ensure guests enjoy their safe stay with fun thoughts of vacation and exciting adventures, but in the event of a resort fire, some areas are not safe from the hazards and dangers of fire.

Resort fires present special challenges for fire services.

Resort fire

Resorts are occupied by individuals who likely have little knowledge of the building's layout and egress paths, are not familiar with the building's fire safety system, emergency procedures, and alarm indications, and might be delayed in exiting since they might be asleep, impaired or simply ignoring evacuation alarms.

It will surely be tough to get a precise accounting of the number of individuals in the resort at the time of a Resort fire.

The hotel and resort industry has numerous important issues about fire protection, prevention

The hotel and resort industry has numerous important issues with regard to fire protection, prevention, and guest' safety. The largest factors come just from the nature of the industry.

In a typical workplace, management can ensure employees are trained in proper emergency procedures, how to use a fire extinguisher and the like.

resort risk management plan

But on a daily, the hotel and resort industry sees new people on their premises. The resort risk management plan has to take into consideration that a great number of individuals are present during a fire emergency and will have little to no training on how to respond.

As a resort owner or manager, the user should ensure that the resort has properly been installed, professionally maintained, and regularly inspected by trusted fire safety professionals in Sunshine Coast throughout the building. These include:

Fire Sprinkler Systems

Fire sprinklers are crucial for safeguarding the resort around the clock, whether the rooms are occupied or vacant.

Fire sprinklers can prevent fire from spreading from one room to the next, minimizing downtime for the resort and reducing damages.

Fire Extinguishers

Most guests will know how to use the fire extinguishers, though they should be clearly labeled

An ABE fire extinguisher is probably the most versatile and common type since it can put out a fire caused by ordinary materials such as paper, plastic, trash, flammable liquids, and electrical equipment.

Most guests will know how to use the fire extinguishers, though they should be clearly labeled within rooms, hallways, and common areas.

Fire Alarms

Having a well-maintained and working fire alarm system is essential for keeping the resort safe and up to code for the guests.

To ensure that it is in working order and prepared to alert guests of a fire emergency at any time user should have the system inspected regularly by an experienced fire protection company.

Fire Evacuation Routes

Users should have a fire evacuation diagram with clearly marked evacuation routes in each room with more than one escape route listed.

Based on the floor plan of the resort, the guests must have more than one way to easily and safely get out of the building in case a Resort fire breaks out. Most resorts have their fire evacuation diagram laminated on the door and the hallways.
