Fire Emergency Response SOP

A step-by-step fire emergency sequence for restaurants and cafes: what the automatic fire systems do, what each team member does in the first minutes, how guests and staff are evacuated and counted, how you hand over to Civil Defence, and how you recover and reopen. Written for outlets in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

• 28 numbered steps in 6 stages: raise the alarm, kitchen first response, confirm the automatic systems, evacuate, assemble and hand over to Civil Defence, recover and reopen
• Each step names the standard to meet and who is responsible
• Automatic systems table: hood suppression, gas shut-off, power interlock, alarm, sprinklers, gas detection, doors and lifts, with what staff check and the manual back-up for each
• Printable shift role card and fire drill record
• Exceptions for duct fires, gas smells, false alarms, burns and building-wide alarms in malls, towers and hotels
• UAE and KSA references: UAE Fire and Life Safety Code of Practice, emirate Civil Defence requirements, Saudi Building Code SBC 801 and the Salamah licence, and the NFPA kitchen and extinguisher standards
