Fire Roll: Know Who Is On Site In Seconds
Fire roll uses clocking and access control data to generate instant evacuation lists. Know exactly who is on site, including visitors and contractors. Fire marshals mark people safe via mobile app.

About Fire Roll
When the fire alarm sounds, you need to know who is on site. Paper sign-in books stay at reception. Class registers are out of date. Head counts at assembly points miss visitors and contractors. Synel's fire roll system gives you an instant, accurate list of everyone who needs to be accounted for.
Instant Roll Call
The moment an alarm triggers, the system generates a list of everyone currently on site. This data comes from clocking terminals, access control readers and visitor sign-in. No manual compilation, no delays, no guesswork.
Everyone Included
The fire roll includes employees, visitors, contractors and anyone else who has signed in or clocked in. No one falls through the gaps between different systems. The receptionist's visitor book feeds the same roll call as the warehouse clocking terminal.
Mobile App for Fire Marshals
Fire marshals access the roll call on their mobile phones. They see who should be at their assembly point and mark people as accounted for. The central dashboard updates in real-time, showing who is still missing across all zones.
Last Known Location
For sites with multiple access readers, the system shows where each person last badged in. If someone is missing, you know which building or zone to search. This speeds up the process of confirming everyone is safe.
Fire Alarm Integration
The system integrates with your fire alarm panel. When the alarm activates, the roll call generates automatically. Access control doors can be configured to release, allowing free evacuation while maintaining the audit trail of who was where.
Works Offline
Clocking terminals store data locally. If the network fails during an emergency, the most recent data is still available. Battery backup keeps terminals running during power cuts. Your fire roll does not depend on everything working perfectly.
Drill Reports
After each drill or evacuation, generate reports showing response times, who was accounted for and how long it took. Use this data to improve procedures and demonstrate compliance to insurers and regulators.

Emergency Mustering FAQs
Common questions about emergency mustering answered.
How does emergency mustering work?
Emergency mustering provides instant roll call during evacuations. When a fire alarm activates, the system generates a real-time list of everyone on site based on access control and clocking data.
Fire marshals can mark individuals as safe using mobile devices or muster point readers. A central dashboard shows who is accounted for (Safe), who has not checked in (At Risk), and last known locations.
This replaces paper-based roll calls with real-time, accurate headcount data.
Can visitors be included in fire evacuation reports?
Yes. Synergy Visitor automatically includes all signed-in guests in evacuation reports.
When the fire alarm triggers, fire wardens see a complete list of everyone on site. Staff and visitors, not just employees.
Visitor badges include QR codes for quick sign-out, and the system tracks exactly who is accounted for and who might still be inside.
Can access control integrate with fire alarm systems?
Yes. Synel access control systems connect directly to building fire panels via the Adam Link controller.
Upon alarm activation, the system automatically unlocks designated doors, gates and turnstiles. Power is cut to magnetic locks, ensuring they fail-safe (unlock) instantly.
The system also generates instant roll call reports showing who is on site, supporting fire safety compliance and speeding up evacuation accountability.
Do clocking terminals work if the internet goes down?
Yes. Synel's data capture devices feature offline mode. If network connectivity is lost, terminals continue to verify users and store clocking data locally using their built-in memory.
Once connection is restored, data automatically uploads to the central server. No records are lost.
Devices also include battery backup to maintain operation during power outages, typically for up to two hours.
