Alarms, Protection & Installation

Fire Alarms & Automatic Protection

An automatic fire protection system and fire alarm, ensures the early
detection and warning of a fire, allowing building occupants the time to escape.
"Shires Fire & Safety install an extensive range of new fire alarm and protection systems"

Modern fire protection systems will detect smoke and fire at the earliest possible stage in an emergency. They are designed to automatically or manually alert building occupants to the danger of fire and evacuate the building. Emergency Services will be advised that a fire has been detected and action taken to minimise the danger and to protect life. This is the minimum requirement for building owners/occupiers to meet the requirements of the Fire Safety Order.

Shires Fire & Safety are qualified to advise and recommend the most appropriate system for each application. These systems consist of detection devices such as smoke detectors, heat detectors and manual call points, as well as audible alarm devices such as bells and electronic sounders.

The RRO directive mandates that regular bi-annual inspection, repair and maintenance of the fire alarm and emergency systems be completed by suitably qualified firms and technicians. Shires Fire & Safety install an extensive range of new fire alarm and protection systems and will retrofit and upgrade existing or obsolete equipment.
