Fire Alarm Design Service Considerations
There are multiple things to consider when designing the best fire detection system for you and your business. Firstly, Black & Gold Fire Safety and Electrical Services Ltd will evaluate the size of your premises. Generally, stand-alone smoke detectors will be installed near sleeping areas if in a home, or a fire alarm system comprising of smoke & heat detectors and audio/visual devices if in a business environment.
Fire detection and warning is essential to the protection of your staff and building from the devastating effects of a fire. Automatic fire detection is crucial in determining the source of a fire alerting building occupants of its presence.
A well-maintained fire system can provide the time needed to facilitate a safe and effective evacuation from the building, preserving the health and safety of its occupants. British Standards 5839-1:2017 recommends that your fire alarm system is maintained at least every six months.
How Many Fire Detectors do you Need?
The number of detectors needed depends on the number of offices, rooms, or compartments within an area. Why? Because in the event of a fire, the smoke will need to reach a device to activate it. The quicker this is achieved, the sooner the alarm will be raised & fire brigade called, and less damage will be caused.
