Although your fire protection strategy should be to prevent the outbreak of fire, in the instance that a fire does occur you need the earliest possible warning to facilitate the safe and fast evacuation of persons and ensure a quick response from the Fire Brigade.

As an independent company, Fire Safety Services (UK) Limited can offer equipment from leading manufacturers, ensuring the most suitable installation for the type of business and usage.

The Chief Fire Officers Association has published the Model Agreement for its new Policy to reduce false activations from remotely monitored fire alarm systems.

The Chief Fire Officers Association Policy will require all premises with remotely monitored

fire alarm systems to pay a fee to be registered with the Fire & Rescue Service and receive a Unique Reference Number. Via this registration scheme the Fire & Rescue Service intends to identify and monitor the performance of fire alarm systems. Systems generating an unacceptably high number of False Alarms will have the Fire & Rescue Service response level to their remotely monitored fire alarm systems either reduced or withdrawn completely.

Therefore the selection of the most suitable system for your business and ongoing maintenance by qualified personnel is critical to ensure your premises are protected to the highest possible level at all times.
