so what exactly are these plaques for

Me and my mates discussed this once (whilst standing on one of them
wating for the rest of the group to arrive) and we decided that the
Fire Service are expected to remove the paving slab in the event of a
fire, thus creating the outlet for the smoke.

The slab is designed to be smashed rather than removed

How do they do that? Please tell me the fire brigade have a special
slab-smashing machine.

Yes, it's called a "hammer."
