Fire alarms are critical for ensuring the safety of building occupants by providing early detection of fire and warning them to evacuate. P-F-P (Plumbridge Fire Protection) specialises in the installation, maintenance, and servicing of fire alarm systems across Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, Greater London, Surrey, and surrounding counties.

Types of Fire Alarm Systems

Selecting the right fire alarm system depends on the building structure, its intended use, and compliance with local regulations. The main types of fire alarm systems include:

• Conventional Fire Alarm Systems: These systems divide a building into zones. When an alarm is triggered, the system identifies the specific zone where the fire is located, making them ideal for smaller or simpler premises.

• Addressable Fire Alarm Systems: Each device, such as a smoke or heat detector, has a unique address, enabling the system to pinpoint the exact location of the fire. This system is suitable for larger or more complex buildings.

• Wireless Fire Alarm Systems: These systems use secure wireless communication to connect devices to the control panel, eliminating the need for extensive cabling. Wireless systems are ideal for heritage buildings, schools, hospitals, or any business looking to avoid the disruption caused by installing cables.
