You have a duty to keep your employees and patrons safe at all times, so it is important to make sure that this area is covered.

At Pro Security, we have delivered fire alarm installation in Galway for businesses of all kinds over the years, from restaurants to offices to bars. And we know that owners of commercial establishments like to know precisely what happens once their fire alarm has been installed. How does it get triggered? And what happens next? This blog post walks you through the entire process.

Installation
After drawing up all specifications and ensuring all areas of your premises are covered, our team of professionals come to your property to install your fire alarm apparatus. They will always double check that detectors and call points, along with their backups, are operating properly before leaving the property, ahead of putting the system live.

Activation
Your fire alarm system will be activated if one of the detectors in your property picks up any hint of smoke or noxious gas in the property. A system has up to 32 zones of detection, depending on the dimensions of your particular commercial property, and once one of them has been activated, the whole apparatus will be triggered. Keep in mind that all detectors come with a backup battery to ensure they work in the event of a power failure.

Alert 
Once your system has been activated, an alert is sent to our monitoring system in Galway, where our team of professionals can see the precise area where the alarm was initially tripped. They will be alerted immediately, and a notification will also be sent to your device through the mobile app. You can also use this app to activate the fire alarm system at any time.

Response 
The monitoring station team will immediately get in touch with you over the phone, along with contacting the relevant fire authorities, who will be directed to your property moments after the alarm has been triggered. If needed, our team can then visit your premises to ensure that all call points and detectors, along with their backups, are still working properly.
