Fire doesn't discriminate. It hits anything from
hospitals to retail outlets, factories to schools, residential
or industrial. Everyone is at risk.
There are ways of protecting yourself and your property.
SCENARIO
Your property contains irreplaceable data, sales and purchase
ledgers, accounts, customer details, tools and machinery. The
building's electrics are strained. Eventually they submit and
it is here your nightmare begins. At first it is just a cable
but soon the flames take hold and begin to spread. Smoke is about
to trigger your alarm.
EXAMPLE 1
At 2.00am the audible fire alarm sounds.
At 2.35am the fire is devastating the building and woken some
local residents who have called the fire brigade.
By 6.30am the building, and your business, have literally gone
up in smoke.
At first your customers are sympathetic but soon their own needs
take over and they begin to look elsewhere.
EXAMPLE 2
At 2.00am when the smoke triggers the alarm a signal is sent from
your alarm panel to our Alarm Receiving Centre and the fire brigade
are dispatched.
At 2.15am the fire service has gained entry to the building and
confined the fire to a small area limiting the damage
By 6.30am am the building and more importantly your business are
still standing.
The whole process from the alarm being raised to dispatching the
Fire brigade takes only seconds and because all the systems are
continuously monitored any system failure can be investigated.
The British standard for the installation of fire alarm systems
is BS 5839 with local governments having the power to increase
and adopt a more strict standard in the interest of public safety.
In all events annual certification with quarterly Inspection for
all fire systems is required with further in house checks carried
out by the user.
Tamar Security will undertake the design, installation, certification
and continuous maintenance of your Fire Alarm Systems for small
and large installations alike. We are able to structure an annual
certification and maintenance programme which complies with all
national and local government regulations and in addition includes
cost efficient preventive maintenance.
We also supply and install emergency lighting, fire extinguishers
and fire blankets for home and business here in Devon.
