Preventing Fire Alarm System Faults
Early last week (24th July 2011) more than 100 patrons and 40 staff were evacuated from a spa in Bath after the fire alarm sounded. Employees of Thermae Bath Spa, thinking this was a real emergency, acted quickly and called the fire service to the scene. Eleven fire-fighters from Avon Fire and Rescue attended the call but quickly deduced that the fire alarm system had been triggered due to an electrical fault in the fire system.
The Importance Of Fire Safety In Care Homes
It has recently been reported that between January 2010 and March 2011 over 130 care homes in the UK were the subject of enforcement action by fire and rescue services.
Reasons for the enforcement action include unsatisfactorily trained staff, inadequate alarms, damaged equipment and blocked escape routes.

Proposals To Charge For False Alarms
Recent proposals in the government’s Localism Bill to allow Fire Authorities to charge businesses for the time and resources used in call outs for false alarms have raised concerns in the fire safety community that businesses will simply turn their fire alarm systems off in a bid to avoid penalties.
While this is a genuine worry, we believe in prevention rather than cure and would like to remind you that there are ways of preventing false fire alarms before the fire service needs to be summoned.

In light of the recent nightclub fire in Cheltenham we thought we’d remind you about the range of Fire Alarm Duct Units we stock, perfect for detecting smoke in air conditioning systems.
Early last month a fire broke out in the air conditioning unit at Lace nightclub in Cheltenham. At just after midnight, with over 200 revellers in the building, the chances were high that someone could get seriously hurt. Nightclub staff acted quickly and managed to get everyone out to safety but, with a blaze that required 20 fire-fighters to extinguish it, things could have gone very differently.
