The lifetime of BBC Fire Protection has seen incredible changes in the technologies employed. Especially during the 1990s, there was an inevitable conversion to electronic detection and alarm systems, with previous equipment becoming obsolete. And there has been ever-greater demand for sophisticated Public Address and Voice Alarms (PAVA). We have welcomed these developments, recognising the increased sensitivity of alarms and the protective benefits they afford. And our rigorous, ongoing training programmes mean our engineers always possess the appropriate expertise to design, install and service such equipment which is not limited to the brands we supply.

The close relationship we enjoy with Notifier allows us to be at the forefront of new technologies. Their massive investment in the design, development and manufacture of advanced fire detection systems give our customers the reassurance of state-of-the-art solutions. Future trends will see the introduction of ever more intelligent systems, which are quicker to detect hazards, less likely to give false alarms and better adapted to difficult environments.
