In light of the recent laws set in place by the Scottish Government, it is important to highlight the damaging and fatal effects of fire breakouts. Fire breakouts can happen to anyone, and at times, they can occur without you even being aware. That is where the importance of the interlinked fire alarm systems comes into play from Fire alarm installers Dunfermline.

So, what is the new interlinked fire alarm system? The interlinked fire alarm system is the Government’s strategic and health and safety orientated approach following the Grenfell Tower tragedy that took place in West London in 2017. The tragedy saw over 140 injuries and fatalities as only over 200 people managed to escape the high-rise block of flats. The fire broke out from a malfunctioning fridge freezer on the fourth floor of the building.

The new interlinked alarm systems aim to alert everyone in the building, no matter where the fire takes place. That means that everyone can respond quickly and safely to the fire breakout.

Interlinking Fire Alarm Systems

We will give you a quick breakdown of what the new interlinked fire alarm system requirements are. Firstly, you are required to have a fire alarm placed on the ceiling of the main room within your home, that may be a living room or even a home office on the bottom level of your home. Next, an alarm will be placed on the ceiling of your home’s circulation area. This is likely to be in the hallway or landing of your home. It is vital to note that if your home happens to be three-storey house plan, you may need an additional alarm.

Finally, as your kitchen may be deemed the most vulnerable area of your home for a fire to start, a heat alarm must be present on the kitchen ceiling.

Carbon monoxide detector

Although they are not required by everyone, carbon monoxide detectors are vital if you have a carbon-fuelled appliance featured within any area of your property. That may be a boiler or even a gas fire. The alarm will sound if the smell-less and tasteless gas becomes present within your home. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer and can be as detrimental as fires, so it is important to keep your family and household safe at all costs.
