Fire Response

Fire Response Alarms Wigan

Fire alarm systems can be connected to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), to provide commercial and domestic customers with keyholder, and on certain systems Fire brigade response. Here at Argus Fire and Security Ltd we currently install and maintain many of these systems across the UK. All work on our customers premises is carried out in line with both the Fire Reform Order 2005 and the current British Standard BS5839:2017. Older systems were required to conform to the previous standards BS5838:2013/2002, and in some cases BS5839:1998.

It is expected that in the future all companies working on fire alarms will require approval by an accredited organisation such as NSI. We successfully achieved BAFE approval via the NSI in 2015, ensuring that all the work we carry out on our customers premises complies fully with current regulations.

At the present time not all fire authorities provide immediate brigade response. Many brigades (including Merseyside), only guarantee to respond to a confirmed fire alarm activation. A fire activation is only currently classed as confirmed on receipt of two separate forms of notification.
