Detection, Warning & Evacuation Systems

AFC Mandates Inspections To Be Completed By A Fire Safety Practitioner

Armidale Fire & Safety, fire and smoke detection systems are intended to detect fire and combustion products in an emergency situation and alert building occupants to initiate evacuation and to notify the Fire Brigade that a fire situation either exists or potentially may exist within the building.

These systems include; detection devices such as Smoke Detectors, Heat Detectors, Fire Alarm Systems and Pull Stations or Audible Alarm Devices such as Bells, Horns or Speakers in the case of Voice Communication Systems.

The Australian Fire Code mandates that regular Annual Inspection, Repair and Maintenance on the Fire Alarm & Emergency Voice Communication Systems be completed by suitably qualified firms and technicians. Which is why Armidale Fire and Safety also offer servicing for these systems.

Emergency Warning and Evacuation Systems are designed to facilitate the orderly evacuation of a building in the event of an emergency. The Fire Alarm systems are comprised of speakers, special phone points and break-glass alarms distributed throughout a building or site. The central panel allows the Chief Warden or Fire Authority to manage the evacuation process. Appropriate training of wardens is required to manage the evacuation of people after an evacuation system is triggered.

Armidale Fire & Safety can supply, install, service, test and maintain evacuation systems, as well as provide appropriate training services.
