Whilst an alarm system will may not prevent fires from occurring, they can alert you to the presence of fire in a very swift manner, and with regular fire drills; the school can be quickly evacuated. Some fire alarm systems can even provide alerts before smoke is event visible.

Remember, the quicker the alarm is raised, the quicker emergency responders can be alerted.

Our team utilise the latest fire alarm technology from SMS SenTri System, Ampac Firefinder Plus, Advance MxPro Panels, Kentec Systems, and EMS FireCell Systems; but which is best suited to your school's fire safety needs?

• Conventional Fire Alarm Systems
  These alarm systems are also known as four-wire alarms. These conventional alarms provide a cost effective fire detection solution, alerting responders to a specific zone in the event of an alarm. However, whilst they are a cost effective solution, the disadvantage is that whilst responding to an alarm, the individual responding will need to manually find the specific device.
  
  
• Analogue Addressable Systems
  This more sophisticated style of fire alarm provides each detector with its own unique address which makes it significantly easier to identify where the alarm is coming from. Unlike conventional systems, you won't be alerted to a zone; instead you'll know the exact detector that has been triggered. This makes it a great choice for larger schools or schools with complex areas and tricky to navigate hallways.
  
  
• EMS Radio Fire Systems
  Sometimes installing a wired fire alarm system can be difficult or even prohibited. In these situations, the ideal fire detection system is a wireless system, such as an EMS Radio Fire System.
  
  Diamond Fire And Security (UK) Ltd. can provide a wide range of fire detection solutions, including solutions from EMS, the UK's number one developer and manufacturer of wireless and hybrid fire detection products. All of which are fully EN54-25 third party approved and carry the CE Mark confirming compliance with all applicable EU directives.
  
  
• Air Sampling Systems
  In locations where fire alarms are tricky to install or when you require a very early warning of fire, the air sampling system provides an alternative. In the air sampling fire detection system, the sampler actively pulls air from the room into a detection chamber where it tests the air for the presence of smoke. This results in a detector which is able to identify smoke during the very early stages of combustion; potentially providing alerts to fire before smoke is even visible in the air.
