Why Are Fire Alarms Important?
Fire alarms are the first line of defence in protecting lives, property, and businesses. Fire alarms alert people to danger, reducing the risk of injury or fatality by ensuring early evacuation.
Early detection saves lives. A correctly installed and well-maintained fire alarm system provides an immediate warning when smoke, heat, or fire is detected, giving occupants vital time to evacuate safely and emergency services time to respond before the fire spreads.
What’s included in your fire alarm maintenance service?
Our maintenance includes a full system inspection, testing of all detectors and sounders, battery health check, logbook updates, and certification for compliance.
