Fire Safety Services for Local Authorities

Fire Equipment & Alarm Monitoring

Churches Fire & Security provide vital planned and preventative fire equipment maintenance and remedial works to several properties owned by a Midlands Council. This includes fire extinguishers, fire alarms, emergency lighting, smoke alarms and detection, refuge alarms and 24-7 alarm monitoring.

Churches Fire have partnered with local authorities for many years, our customers benefit from a close relationship with account managers, a support team and experienced fire technicians on call for help.

Enhancing fire safety for local authorities

When working with local authorities our aim is to provide the best possible service, in line with the latest fire regulations and British Standards.

Our technicians work on a planned maintenance program across a large number of locations. The scheduled program is set up with key personnel from the Council, to ensure that fire safety requirements and compliance are met at all times.

Dealing with fire incidents

A large fire broke out at a council-owned recycling centre. Thankfully, nobody was injured. However, several pieces of fire equipment that Churches Fire & Security maintain were activated including smoke detection, the fire alarm system, and the fire alarm monitoring.

Thanks to the meticulously planned processes, the activation of the fire alarm system sent an immediate alert to the alarm receiving centre (ARC) on-site at our company headquarters.

The ARC responder handled the alert with composure and precision, ensuring the site was made aware of the fire in well-under the specified industry response time of under 30 seconds.

The emergency services were brought in immediately. And, the day after the fire incident, one of our experienced fire technicians attended the site to disable the fire alarm system and return the site to a temporary operational state.
