Fire alarm installations and systems play a vital role in the safety aspect of many different types of buildings. Fire alarm installations are quite often overlooked, and sometimes deemed unnecessary, until a crisis strikes. Fires strike at any time and seemingly come from nowhere, and the results can be devastating and often result in fire related injuries and even human fatalities. All buildings whether they are publicly or privately owned will benefit from fire alarm installations, which will ensure the necessary level of protection and fulfil the legal and minimum requirements. Fire alarm installations require a fire risk assessment, which involves a comprehensive assessment of all sites and buildings. Based on the results of the assessment, the correct fire alarm installations can then be designed and installed which comply with the Fire Regulations, and maintain structural fire integrity.
