We all know only too well the power of fire and the havoc and destruction it can cause, the horrific injuries and of course, worst of all, the loss of life. All too often, however, most of these incidents could be prevented or at least controlled by a professionally installed, maintained and monitored Fire Alarm System.

Following the second Great Fire of London in 1666 a merchant living in Mincing Street devised the earliest recorded system for automatically raising an alarm in the event of a fire. It consisted of a cord chased around the walls of each room from the apex of the house to the basement where it was secured to a weight suspended over a gong. The idea was simple, the fire would burn the cord, the weight would fall on the gong and the noise would alert the occupier. We don't know whether it worked but we do know that it was some 200 years before the next automatic fire detection system came on the market.

Today, however, Fire Alarm Systems are extremely sophisticated, versatile and thereby reliable. Gone is the piece of cord and now we have a range of electronic detection devices such as Manual Breakglass Detectors, Smoke Detectors in various forms, Heat Detectors to suit most situations, Optical Beam Detectors, Gas Detectors etc.
