Hospitals are built for healing, yet the very systems that sustain patient care like heating, sterilisation, food preparation and medical gases also pose serious fire risks. In a place dedicated to saving lives, fire safety in healthcare facilities is more than a precaution; it’s an absolute necessity.
At Alexon, our fire protection specialists understand the unique fire hazards that hospitals and healthcare facilities face. That’s why we focus on the critical components of fire protection, ensuring that every precaution is in place to safeguard patients, staff and visitors.
From risk assessment to compliance and fire equipment maintenance, we’re here to help establish fire safety in healthcare facilities, navigate the complexities of fire prevention and create a secure environment for all. Contact our team today to learn more about our fire safety tailored to healthcare facilities and fire safety systems in hospitals.
When using your fire blanket, take hold of the two bottom tabs at the base of your fire blanket bag to pull the blanket out. Slowly and carefully use your hands to spread the fire blanket out over the fire, covering it entirely.
Leave your fire blanket over the fire for at least thirty minutes to ensure that the fire has been fully suppressed.
Turn off your gas/electricity cooktop at the mains if it’s safe to do so.
Call Triple Zero (000) and ask for fire services. If you’ve recently had to follow this process of using your fire blanket, be sure to call your trusted local fire safety technicians here at Alexon to book your next fire blanket installation or testing appointment.
Life Safety
The top priority in any fire emergency is protecting lives. In a hospital, many patients cannot evacuate on their own, so staff must be prepared to assist. Having clear evacuation procedures, fire-resistant zones and well-trained personnel keeps everyone inside safe.
Notification
Rapid communication saves lives. Whether it’s activating alarms, using the hospital’s intercom system or contacting emergency services, swift sounding of a fire alarm and evacuation announcements allows staff and first responders to act quickly and effectively.
Extinguish
If it is safe to do so, containing or extinguishing a fire can prevent further damage and reduce risk. Hospital staff should have access to fire extinguishers and suppression systems, and be trained in how and when to utilise this infrastructure and equipment.
Relocation & Evacuation
Unlike other large heavily occupied buildings, hospitals cannot always conduct full evacuations. Staff must be trained to relocate patients to designated fire-safe areas. Having a well-rehearsed evacuation plan ensures that movement is efficient and safe, minimising disruptions to patient care.

Regular inspections enable healthcare facilities to verify that their fire protection systems function at peak performance. Our protocol involves examining all fire protection elements including fire hose reels, fire hydrants and sprinkler systems to detect any problems early.Healthcare facilities use annual AESMR reviews to identify potential vulnerabilities so they can implement corrective actions prior to problems developing into serious situations.
Emergency lighting procedures including direction of emergency exit lights, fire drills and staff responsibilities need to be detailed in this plan.A well-detailed and clearly communicated plan prepares hospital staff to deliver an effective response during fire emergencies.
Hospitals build fire-resistant compartments within their structures by employing fire-rated drywall and concrete along with specially treated doors.Fire barriers have ratings that enable them to resist fire and extreme heat for a specific amount of time which allows first responders to gain additional time to control the fire.Fire-rated glazing installed in windows and doors allows for visibility which enables staff to watch emergency situations while preserving fire resistance and maintaining safety.
Fire seals prevent smoke and heat from reaching other hospital areas by sealing gaps around doors, walls and service openings.The hospital's ventilation system includes fire dampers which shut off automatically upon fire detection to prevent flames and toxic smoke from spreading.
Fire-stopping services are essential for maintaining a building’s fire integrity, especially in areas where utilities such as electrical cables and pipes, pass through walls, floors, or ceilings.As a result, fire-stopping services protect buildings by sealing openings to block fast-moving fires from reaching high-risk places such as patient rooms, operating theatres and labs.

Because many patients depend on essential medical devices and cannot evacuate independently, fire safety in healthcare facilities and hospitals need early detection and containment systems to effectively manage fire risks.
Early Detection for Immediate Action
When it comes to fire safety planning in hospitals and other densely crowded facilities, every second counts. Fire detection systems must be highly sensitive and capable of identifying risks at the earliest stage.
Rapid alerts allow staff to initiate emergency procedures quickly, ensuring that patients and essential medical equipment remain safeguarded while emergency responders take action.
Containing Fire to Prevent Escalation
Preventing the spread of fire is just as important as detecting it. Fire-rated doors along with smoke barriers and compartmentalisation strategies work to limit flames and smoke movement. This helps maintain clear evacuation routes and provides time for a secure and structured emergency response.
WHY CHOOSE US
Fire blankets work by physically smothering fires and restricting the flow of oxygen that fuels open flames. These innovative fire suppression solutions can be thrown over cooking fat or stovetop fires, or can even be used to wrap around individuals if their clothing has caught fire. As fire blankets are designed to be single use (for effectiveness), staying on top of your fire blanket servicing and maintenance requirements is paramount to ensuring that your fire blanket can be used in the event of a fire-related emergency.
Our team at Alexon have over 20 years of experience in providing servicing, testing, and maintenance for fire blankets as well as a range of other fire suppression systems such as fire alarms, fire sprinklers, fire doors and fire hose reels. Our fire blanket testing team will be able to provide you with thorough logbook and ESM reporting services, ensuring that you can include your fire blanket as an effective essential safety measure in your building or work premises.
