Fire Systems Ltd, is an independent fire alarm installer, with some advice on a mixed fire alarm system and its benefits.
There are different types of fire alarm systems that can be in installed (Wireless fire alarms, wired addressable fire alarms and basic conventional systems). The fire alarm systems, should be in accordance with there commendations of BS 5839-6 Fire detection and fire alarm systems for buildings, which is the Code of practice for the design, installation and maintenance of fire detection and fire alarm systems in dwellings. This details different grades of system and extent of coverage and recommends an appropriate system based on the risk the premises present.
Relatively simple systems will be satisfactory for smaller, low-risk premises, but larger houses and HMOs will require a more sophisticated automatic fire alarm system. In bedsit HMOs with cooking facilities within the bedsits and in blocks of self-contained flats then a mixed system is usually recommended, where the escape routes and common parts are protected by an interlinked system of alarms or fire detection of the main house fire alarm, and the individual units have a separate stand-alone system to alert a sleeping occupant of fire in their own unit of accommodation. This has the benefit of reducing nuisance/false alarms throughout
the whole property caused by activities such as cooking within any one unit.
