Industrial Fire 
Alarm Systems

We also provide fire alarm system services for warehouses and other industrial buildings. In an industrial setting, the challenge in terms of fire risk is to select and install the appropriate class of fire alarm. It’s also crucial to place the fire detection devices strategically in order to detect real signs of a fire accurately, based on the specific environment.

 

In order to mitigate fire risks, it’s critical that the detectors are able to sense all potential indicators of a fire specific to that environment. In warehouses and storage facilities, there are many factors that can make it difficult to set up fire alarms and sensors, including nearby vehicle movements that emit exhaust smoke, and other pollutants.

 

It’s important to have expert engineers, like our team at Britannia Fire & Security, with the right skills and knowledge to install industrial fire alarm systems. We have extensive experience in understanding the unique challenges of different environments, and will make sure that the fire detection system is tailored to meet those needs.
