Why Should You Install a Fire Detection System With Brunel Fire & Security?
If you have never had to experience what it is like to pick up the pieces and recover from a fire, then you should count yourself lucky. Fires in the UK contribute to £8 billion of damage to homes and businesses annually. Many businesses simply do not recover afterwards. The most important takeaway is that the vast majority of these fires could have been mitigated with a fire detection system. Other reasons to install a fire detection system include;
- Fire detection systems save lives. This is potentially one of the most important reasons to install a correct fire detection system is to make your building safe for your employees and customers. A combination of various fire detection products will give anyone in the building ample time to evacuate.
- Fire detection systems also reduce property loss. Whilst alarms don’t actively put out fires, they instantly alert the people who can. A typical fire control process will begin when trained personnel attacks a fire with an extinguisher and other bystanders call the fire brigade. Whereas, fire detection systems will automatically notify emergency services. The faster that these responses happen, the sooner the fire is dealt with and the less damage that your building will sustain.
- Fire alarms shorten your recovery time. Less building damage will mean that there is much shorter downtime until you can reopen for business. This will also cut your losses.
- Fire detection systems may provide you with insurance discounts. Most insurance companies will offer discounted rates on business insurance policy premiums if you have a compliant fire detection system. In fact, some may even require you to have such a system before you can insure your business.
- Fire detection systems keep you legally compliant. Regulations set out by the UK government, in fact, require you to have a fire detection system.
