Fire and Smoke

In less than 30 seconds a small flame can rage out of control and escalate into a major fire, causing significant property damage and even loss of life. Not only flames present a danger - the heat and gases emitted can be more threatening. Yet fire protection is often the most neglected element of security and protection.

The Business Impact

Few events have a more disturbing or destructive impact on a business than fire. Apart from substantial property damage, injuries and even the loss of lives, fire can severely disrupt your business for weeks or months. Valuable information, transaction data and customers files can be lost and even further loss of customers and revenue can arise while you restore your operations.
