All HMO’s need to be provided with an appropriate fire detection and fire alarm system. The system installed can be a wireless fire alarm or a wired type system. The greatest benefit to life safety in a residential fire alarm is given by a full-coverage system (Category LD1). Such a fire system will give the earliest practicable warning of fire to occupants, wherever ignition occurs.
However, a good level of fire protection can normally be obtained from a Category LD2 designed fire alarm system, in which detection
is only provided at points where the fire risk is high or where combustion products would present a significant hazard to life. A Category LD2 designed fire alarm system might, for instance, have detectors only in the circulation areas of the dwelling, the living room and the kitchen; other areas might be left without detector coverage.
The areas protected by a Category LD2 system include escape routes, i.e. those areas that would be protected
by a Category LD3 system.
Wireless fire alarm are a popular choice in today’s residential market, due to the obvious ease of installation and little or no damage to the decoration. Fire Systems Ltd, are a industry known specialist for the installation of wireless fire alarm systems.
