Fire Escape Plan

Lay escape routes, exits, extinguishers and signage, then export a print-ready plan.

The Fire Escape engine turns a drawing into a compliant evacuation plan. See the feature overview for what it can do; this is the how-to.

Add the engine

Open your drawing, add the Fire Escape Plan engine, and set your region (US, UK, EU or AU) in Settings so the right symbol pack and safety colours load.

Place safety symbols

  1. Choose a category from the rail — extinguisher, detection, exit, assembly point, first-aid, communications, suppression or wayfinding.
  2. Tap the plan to place the default symbol for that category.
  3. Select it to open the editor, where you can:
    • Swap to the exact glyph within the category.
    • Rotate and scale (0.3–5×).
    • Recolour from the safety palette or a custom colour.

Draw escape routes

Pick the route tool and tap along the path occupants should take. Routes snap to walls and are colour-coded — use one colour for primary routes and another for secondary. Finish the route from the bottom bar.

Add direction arrows

Drop arrows to reinforce direction of travel; rotate them in 45° steps toward the nearest exit.

Export

Export a high-resolution PNG, ready to print and post. Hide the overlay first if you want to compare against the bare plan.

Tips

  • Place an assembly point outside the building footprint.
  • Keep routes clear of furniture so the path reads at a glance.
  • Switch the region in Settings to preview how the plan looks under another region’s symbols.
