Unfortunately over 80% of the lives lost each year due to fire and over £3.4million in damage are in the home. With our residential solutions care homes and domestic homes can avoid significant loss and cost effectively.

Home fire sprinklers can contain and may even extinguish a fire in less time than it would take the fire department to arrive on the scene.

Nationwide, more than 500 people die in fires each year. Fire sprinklers save lives, reduce property loss and can even help cut homeowner insurance premiums.

Installing both smoke alarms and a fire sprinkler system reduces the risk of death in a home fire by 82%, relative to having neither.
