Fire Roll Call Management System FAQS

What is a fire roll call management system?

A fire roll call management system is a digital emergency evacuation solution that gives fire marshals and safety officers real time visibility of everyone on site during an emergency. It replaces paper-based roll call lists with live occupancy data pulled directly from your time and attendance and visitor management systems. Computime’s fire roll call system allows marshals to conduct roll calls from any smartphone or tablet at the assembly point, mark individuals as safe with a single tap, and instantly identify anyone unaccounted for.

How does Computime's fire roll call system work?

Computime’s fire roll call system integrates directly with your time and attendance and visitor management systems to maintain a continuously updated list of everyone on site. When an evacuation is triggered, fire marshals open the app on any iOS or Android device and begin the roll call at the assembly point. Individuals are marked safe with a single tap, missing personnel are flagged instantly, and marshals can contact them directly through the app. The system works offline with automatic sync when connectivity is restored, ensuring it functions reliably even in poor signal conditions.

Can Computime's fire roll call system handle multiple locations?

Yes. Computime’s fire roll call system supports multi-site organisations with site-specific roll call data for each location. Each site has its own live occupancy list, and fire marshals at each assembly point have access to accurate, real time data for their specific site. Centralised reporting allows safety managers to monitor evacuation status across all sites simultaneously.

Is Computime's fire roll call system easy to use?

Yes. The system is designed to be used under pressure in a real emergency, so simplicity is essential. The four step process — grab a device, go to the assembly point, open the app, complete the roll call — requires no training and works intuitively. The interface is clear and readable in all conditions including poor lighting and outdoors, making it far more reliable than paper lists in real world emergencies.

How does Computime improve emergency response?

Computime’s fire roll call system improves emergency response by eliminating the delays and inaccuracies associated with paper-based roll calls. Real time occupancy data means marshals always have an up to date list of who is on site, rather than relying on outdated printed sheets. Missing personnel are flagged immediately and can be contacted directly through the app. Post-incident evacuation reports help organisations review response times, identify improvements, and demonstrate compliance with UK fire safety regulations.

How can I get started with Computime's fire roll call system?

Getting started begins with a free consultation with our Leeds based team. We will assess your site requirements, recommend the most suitable configuration, and handle installation and training. The system integrates directly with your existing Computime time and attendance and visitor management systems, meaning setup is straightforward with minimal disruption to your business.
