The Fire Alarm goes off and your staff call 999 to summon the Fire brigade. Once the call was made, The Fire brigade arrived within minutes and promptly extinguished the fire. Shortly afterwards they confirmed it was safe to return.

Your business has a comprehensive fire alarm and it was installed in full accordance with UK Standards. As a responsible business owner, you ensure that your staff carry out weekly tests and you have a full maintenance contract in place to ensure the fire alarm is kept in full working order. You are conscientious and your business is compliant, but\u2026\u2026there is no fire alarm monitoring in place.<\/p><p>So, the Fire starts at 17:00 on a Sunday but the building is empty. The Fire Alarm has worked perfectly, detecting the smoke and activating the sounders. However, this time there is nobody on site to hear them and make the call.\u00a0 The Fire most likely takes hold, spreading through the building and growing in strength by the minute. Someone passing finally notices a bright orange glow and calls 999. At this point it is generally be too late to save anything.<\/p><p>Sadly, the statistics speak for themselves with over 70% of businesses involved in a major fire not reopening, or if they do subsequently fail within 3 years of the fire.<\/p><p>Thankfully this scenario is very easy to avoid by having your Fire Alarm monitored. BAC can install a small Communication module called a DualCom Pro that takes over from your staff when the building is empty. When your Fire Alarm is monitored it will contact an ARC (Alarm Response Centre) and summon the Fire Brigade automatically in the event of a fire.<\/p><p>For less than a pound a day, this service makes the difference between arriving to find your business in ashes, or arriving to find a burnt-out appliance that was quickly dealt with and just leaving some minor repairs and cleaning up required.<\/p><p>When you weigh it up, the cost of Fire Alarm monitoring is insignificant when compared to the cost of your business.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d3d318 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6d3d318\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Setting up Brigade or Police Response<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dc6cd1d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dc6cd1d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>BAC can arrange for your system to be automatically attended by the appropriate emergency services.
