In respect of the recent laws set in place by the Scottish Government, it is important to call attention to the damaging and fatal consequences that can result from fire breakouts. It can happen to anyone at any time, and the majority of the time, it can occur without you even being aware of how it started. That is where the importance of the new interlinked fire alarm system rules comes into play with the help of Fire Alarm Installers Greenock.
The Interlinked Fire Alarm System
What is the new interlinked fire alarm system? The interlinked fire alarm system is the Government’s strategic and safety orientated approach following the consequences of the Grenfell Tower tragedy that took place in West London in 2017. The tragedy resulted in over 140 injuries and fatalities. Only over 200 people managed to escape the high-rise block of flats following a fire break out from a malfunctioning fridge freezer on the fourth floor of the building.
The new interlinked alarm system aims to alert everyone in the building, no matter where the fire takes place. This means that everyone can respond quickly and safely to the fire breakout. Hopefully, as a country, we can avoid another event as tragic as the Grenfell Tower catastrophe.

Fire Alarm Installers Greenock – Installation Process
You may be asking yourself, what is the interlinked fire alarm system, and how does this system differ from the one already in our homes?
First off, an alarm will be fitted to the ceiling of your main room. This would usually be in the living room area. However, if you would prefer it to be placed in a more discreet area, this could be discussed with the fire alarm installers Greenock team. An alarm will also be placed in the circulation area of your home. That would be within the hallway or landing of your property. It is important to note that if your home is three-storey’s you may need an additional alarm.
A heat alarm will also be installed on your kitchen ceiling. If your home features a carbon-fuelled appliance such as a boiler or a gas fire, a carbon monoxide detector will be necessary. Carbon monoxide, when inhaled in large doses, can be lethal. Known as the silent killer, the gas has no taste or smell. Therefore, these devices are vital in detecting the presence of the gas as you would never be made aware of it otherwise.
