Fire Alarms

---

Fire alarm systems are intended to detect fires early enough to ensure the safety of emergency response personnel who turn out to reduce building loss and safely ensure that everyone has escaped dangerous burning situations. Here at Flash Fire and Security we can provide, install and service top quality fire detection systems in businesses across the UK.

When selecting fire detection alarm systems for your business it is important to consider your objectives for fire safety.

To determine this, it is vital to perform an assessment of the facility and its operations. This assessment should include the way you view your tolerance to risk and your ability to financially compensate for losses. The choice of system depends a lot on the building structure and layout, the purpose of the building and current legislation.

Because facilities are different, this should be weighed in the balance. For instance, a hospital, dormitory or hotel where people might be asleep or unable to fend for themselves can be considered at greater risk for loss of life than a warehouse that stores saleable goods.

Along with selecting and installing a specific type of fire alarm system, is the continuing commitment required during its life. Due to the manpower and time it takes to inspect, test and maintain these systems, the cost is ongoing. This, among other reasons, is why it is crucial to evaluate your needs before choosing fire alarm systems and selecting the one that best fits your needs. Taking a considered approach before you have a system installed is likely to ensure it best meets your needs.

The Addressable systems are more complex than your conventional fire alarms, idea for large buildings and high profile projects. These give you the option of integrating multiple third party systems, phased evacuations and other special cause and effects.
