[[Fire Prevention Plans]] or '''[[FPPs]]''' are a requirement of any site operator with an [[Environmental Permit|environmental permit]] that receives [[wikipedia: Combustibility and flammability|combustible]] waste with the objective of minimising the likelihood of a fire happening, aiming to enable a fire to be extinguished within 4 hours, and minimising the spread of fire within the site and to neighbouring sites<ref name='ref1'>[https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/fire-prevention-plans-environmental-permits/fire-prevention-plans-environmental-permits Gov.UK Guidance]</ref>.

==Overview==
[[Fire Prevention Plans]] or '''[[FPPs]]''' are a requirement of any site operator with an [[Environmental Permit|environmental permit]] that receives [[wikipedia: Combustibility and flammability|combustible]] waste with the objective of minimising the likelihood of a fire happening, aiming to enable a fire to be extinguished within 4 hours, and minimising the spread of fire within the site and to neighbouring sites<ref name='ref1'/>. Between 2001 and 2013 there were, on average, more than 300 fires a year in waste and recycling sites<ref>[[CIWM]] article in June 2021 Edition of Circular Magazine written by Sam Ahmad</ref>.

An [[Environmental Permit|environmental permit]] will either have a specific condition requiring appropriate measures to be taken, or require a [[Fire Prevention Plans|fire prevention plan]] to be maintained as part of the written management system associated with the [[Environmental Permit|environmental permit]].

==Types of Combustible Waste==
The types of combustible waste listed in the guidance<ref name='ref1'/> are:
*[[Paper & Card|paper or cardboard]]
*[[Plastic|plastics]]
*[[Textiles|Rags and textiles]]
*[[Metal|scrap metals]] contaminated or mixed with other waste such as oils or plastics
*de-polluted and un-depolluted [[ELV]]s including Automotive Shredder Residue|fragmentiser waste]]
*[[Refuse Derived Fuel|refuse derived fuel]] ([[RDF]]) and [[Solid Recovered Fuel|solid recovered fuel]] ([[SRF]])
*[[compost]] and plant material
*[[biomass]]
*mixed waste containing any combustible wastes
*[[WEEE]]
and also include [[Wood|wood]] and specific reference to waste containing [[wikipedia: Persistent organic pollutant|Persistent Organic Pollutants]], or [[wikipedia: Persistent organic pollutant|POPs]], which require specific segregation and compliance with specific regulations<ref> POPs regulations 2019 – UK SI.2019 No.1099 (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2019/1099/made), implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1021</ref>.
