Fire Detection Systems

Fire detection systems are devices or systems that are designed to detect the presence of fire or smoke and alert people to the potential danger. Fire detection systems are an essential component of fire safety measures in buildings, facilities, and other structures.

Hands On Fire Protection can assess the requirements of your building and reccomend the right systems to ensure you remain compliant with all Council and Government building regulations.

There are several types of  detectors, including:

1. Smoke detectors: These systems use sensors that detect the presence of smoke and can trigger an alarm. Smoke alarms have expiry dates so ensure these are inspected regularly.
2. Heat detectors: These systems detect changes in temperature and can trigger an alarm when a certain temperature threshold is reached.
3. Flame detectors: These systems detect the presence of flames and can trigger an alarm when a flame is detected.

Fire detection systems may also be integrated with other fire protection systems, such as fire suppression systems, to provide a comprehensive fire protection solution. In addition, fire detection systems may be monitored remotely by a central monitoring station, which can alert emergency services and other relevant parties in the event of a fire. No matter what system you choose, it’s important to ensure they are regularly inspected.

Overall, fire detection systems are an important component of fire safety measures, as they can help to detect fires at an early stage and prevent or minimise damage to property and harm to people.
