Smoke Alarms Installation

Interlinked Wireless Smoke & Heart Alarms

Smoke inhalation is the primary cause of death in over 90% of fire deaths.
Early detection and warning - through an interlinked alarm system - is vital to increasing chances of survival.

Statistically majority of accidental fires in dwellings are from:

• Cooking appliances
• Smoking related
• Candles
• Electrical Supply
• Domestic Appliances

On average (as of 2018) 30% of fires started in a living room, 17% in bedrooms and only 15% in kitchens.

As these new figures have emerged, its shown the increase of fires started in living areas has contributed greatly to deaths in residential premises.

These results highlight the importance of catching fires quickly and raising the alarm as while the fire is still in its early stages.

Smoke & Heat Alarm Regulations

From this research, the Scottish Government has made these fire requirements in domestic premises mandatory:

• Living room to be fitted with 1 smoke alarm
• Kitchen to be fitted with heat alarm
• Circulation spaces outside rooms and bedrooms (such as hallway and landings on each level) to be fitted with at least 1 smoke alarm
• All alarms interlinked so one detector triggered causes the whole system alarm to activate

Legal Requirement

These standards have now been passed as law - if you don’t have a setup in place by February 2022, your system is illegal and you can be fined.
