Saving lives through fast fire detection
Fire alarms are a legal requirement in most commercial properties – and it’s easy to see why. By detecting fires early, they provide life-saving time for emergency service to respond, and your people to escape.
Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, all commercial buildings in the UK must have an ‘appropriate fire detection system’. By law, your fire alarm system must be ‘adequately maintained’ at all times, and serviced by a ‘competent person’ at least every six months.
As fully-certified members of the institute of fire managers, CFP’s active fire protection team can take care of all this and more. Read on to discover how we can help keep your people safe, and your business compliant.
