Thanks for all the replies. We have decided to go with an evacuation policy. Personally I believe the stay put policy was sound but our client was uncomfortable with it so we ended up rewriting his fire strategy.

For those that support the "Stay Put Policy" can I ask what are they staying put for or untill?  Untill the fire burns out?  The guides clearly state that reliance on fire service intevention should not be written into any risk assessment.

There are no black and white answers to the questions. The assessment is whether it is safer for the people involved to remain in protected areas or to be evacuated.  The assessment has to be dynamic and adjusted to the circumstances at the time. The fire evacuation plan must cater for this.
