Cost-effectively automating fire door release.
UK care home fire statistics are the worst for 40 years. After catastrophic fires in Scotland and Wales this year the death toll in care homes rose to 18 fatalities over a single month. No larger loss of life in a fire at a care home in Britain has been recorded since regulations covering these homes were introduced in the 1960s. It is against this background of heightened national vigilance that Fireco's Chris Pearce explains, in a timely overview, how the very latest "add-on" automatic fire door release technology can revolutionize integrated fire alarm systems by easing access in the care setting.
