COMMERCIAL FIRE PROTECTION
FIRE ALARMS & DETECTION SYSTEMS

When it comes to helping your employees, tenants or guests evacuate swiftly and safely, nothing beats a well-maintained fire alarm system.

An effective Fire Alarm system should provide the following.

SOUND & NOTIFICATION

The main function of a fire alarm is to notify building occupants of an emergency and allow them time to evacuate. This is done usually by bells, horns and strobe lights.

OFFSITE REPORTING

Alarm systems are usually linked to a central monitoring station, that will contact emergency personnel, when the alarm is triggered. Reporting is done via a redundant land and mobile communication service.

SYSTEM PREPARATION

When a Fire Alarm is triggered, a sequence of events occurs to prepare your fire suppression system for activation, to suppress and control the spread of fire. It is imperative that these systems are serviced and tested regularly.

INSPECTION & TESTING

All fire systems, ancillary and auxiliary devices should be tested regularly. Contact Safety First to have your system tested.
