Frequently asked questions

What are the different types of Fire Alarm systems?

There are four main types of fire alarm systems:

Conventional fire alarm systems: These systems are the most basic type of fire alarm system. They have a single control panel that monitors a network of interconnected smoke detectors and fire alarm bells. When a smoke detector is activated, it sends a signal to the control panel, which sounds the alarm. Addressable fire alarm systems: These systems are more advanced than conventional systems. They have individual addresses for each smoke detector and fire alarm bell, which allows the control panel to identify the specific location of the fire. This can be helpful for firefighters and other emergency personnel.
Wireless fire alarm systems: These systems use radio waves to transmit signals between the smoke detectors and the control panel. This makes them a good option for buildings where it is difficult or expensive to run wires, such as historic buildings or older homes.
Sprinkler systems: These systems are not technically fire alarm systems, but they are an important part of fire safety. Sprinkler systems automatically release water when a fire is detected, which can help to extinguish the fire quickly.

How often should fire alarm systems be tested and maintained?

Weekly – in commercial properties, all fire alarm systems need to be tested weekly to ensure they’re still working. In accordance with BS 5839, fire alarm systems should be inspected every six months.
