Many towerblocks only have a fire alarm system which provides detection in communal areas, like staircases and corridors. Despite alarms being present in common areas, Compartmentalisation could be breached from dwelling to dwelling because of the presence of cladding similar to that found in the tragic Grenfell Towers'. Therefore to lower the prevailing hazard to an acceptable risk ratio either, full-time Marshalling would be required, or a dedicated monitored alarm system would need to be installed with detection in each dwelling providing protection to warn residents if any unit is on fire'.

To fulfil the requirement of a 'Stand Alone, Monitored Wireless Alarm System' Green Tree Safety are specialist in wireless fire detection. We have been installing EMS systems for over 15 years. Our wireless systems can be installed to any type of premises. The systems are not affected by other types of transmission equipment.

A typical Towerblock would have the following installed.

• EMS Wireless Fire Cell Syncro 4 Loop 48 Zone Addressable fire Panel be installed in the main Lobby with Repeater Panels in other Lobbys. (Enables individuals and attending Fire Officers to confirm the exact location of a fire event)
• That Network cards suitable for the system are installed in each panel
• That EMS Wireless Fire Cell Cluster Communicators throughout the buildings to form the Wireless infrastructure
• That EMS Rate of Rise Heat detectors are installed in each of the forty-one dwelling units with associated bases

• 

  That EMS Sounder Strobes are installed alongside the detectors (99 dB's)

• Interface units are installed to link the current alarm (if one exists) in 'common areas' to the new alarm
• Interface Units are installed to facilitate isolation of any security measures that might prevent easy access by Fire Services or egress by evacuating people
• Interface Units are installed to isolate gas and any other items that might aid fire safety in an incident
• That a Communications Module (Pager System) is included to alert the authorities/building owners
• That detection is extended into Garage areas and plant rooms
• The design allowed for above will not 'cry wolf' by operating for things like toast burning in individual dwellings by using quick operating 'Rate of Rise' Heat Detection rather than smoke detection

  

  

  

  

The design will ensure Constant Vigilance, the system will enable the dwelling units to be under constant monitoring as EMS control panel check their systems every 30 seconds. Sounds to Wake a Sleeping Person. The requirement is 75 dB at the bed head. The design could be linked to 'Red Care' and/or pager devices.

EMS wireless systems can be easily extended and include detector/sounders that could be configured only to provide alarm in a single dwelling for a defined period. This would mean owners could extend the system should they so wish to cover their bedrooms and kitchens etc without huge cost.
