What Is a Fire Roll Call Management System?

A fire roll call system is a digital evacuation management solution that tracks all employees, visitors, and contractors on-site in real time.

It allows fire marshals to:

      • instantly access a live list of everyone on-site
      • conduct roll calls at assembly points
      • identify missing personnel immediately
      • contact individuals directly if needed

Unlike manual systems, a digital solution ensures accurate, up-to-date data during critical situations.

How the System Works

In an emergency every second counts. Computime’s fire roll call system is designed to be fast, simple, and reliable in six straightforward steps.

1

Employees and Visitors Check In

Using your time and attendance or visitor management system, all arrivals are logged automatically in real time.

2

Real Time Occupancy List is Created

The system automatically updates as people enter and leave the site, maintaining an accurate live headcount at all times.

3

Fire Marshals Access the App

On a phone or tablet at the designated assembly point. No paper lists, no confusion, just a clear live list of everyone on site.

4

Roll Call is Conducted Digitally

Individuals are marked safe with a single tap. The process is fast, accurate, and works in all conditions including poor lighting and outdoors.

5

Missing Personnel are Flagged Instantly

Anyone not yet accounted for is clearly highlighted. Marshals can call or message them directly through the app without leaving the assembly point.

6

Review Evacuation Time and Statistics

Post-incident evacuation reports allow safety managers to review response times, identify improvements, and demonstrate compliance with UK fire safety regulations.

Fire Roll Call Management System FAQS

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.

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.

Yes. Computime’s fire roll call system supports multi-site organisations with site-specific roll call data for each location.

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.
