Fire

Yeoman plays a crucial role in fire detection and prevention. Fast alarm signalling saves lives and property, and can mean the difference between life and death, particularly at night when the most serious fires occur. Prompt action is vital. Even if there's no one around, as soon as an alarm is received, help is on its way immediately to deal with the fire and prevent it spreading.

Here at Yeoman we use the latest RedCARE* technology to make sure that response to a fire emergency is instant and efficient.

Our system ensures that within seconds of a FIRE alarm being set off, an alert will automatically be on its way to our 24-hour, year-round receiving centre enabling us to summon emergency help without delay.

We offer three levels of service:

• Basic system based on a telephone line which gives instant detection if it has been damaged or cut, and transmits even when the phone is in use;

• ISDN, which is capable of transmitting up to 1,000 different alarms or data packets to an ARC, as well as status reports on the customer's premises such as fire location; and

• Connection with a GSM radio back-up whereby if one system fails, the other alerts the ARC while continuing to monitor any subsequent alarms.

* RedCARE is the only fully monitored system to be listed and approved by the Loss Prevention Certification Board.
