How Do Fire Alarms Work?
Fire alarms detect smoke, heat or carbon monoxide.
When a detector senses danger, it sends a signal to the control panel. The panel then triggers audible and visual alerts throughout the building. Our systems can also link to CCTV, access control and sprinkler networks for a coordinated response.
Choosing the Right Fire Alarms
Selecting the correct alarm type can be confusing.
We begin with a site survey to understand your building’s layout and occupancy. Factors we consider include:
- Size and floor plan
- Type of activities (e.g., cooking, manufacturing)
- Existing safety equipment
We then recommend a bespoke solution that meets both your needs and legal requirements. —
