Why Fire Safety Matters


Fire safety in Ireland is essential for protecting lives and property, and it’s also a legal duty as per the Fire Safety Act, 1981. Businesses across Ireland must have adequate fire safety measures in place and in good working order. Not only does this protect staff or visiting clients in the event of an emergency, but it also shows due diligence and compliance with IS 3218: Fire detection and alarm systems for buildings – system design, installation, servicing and maintenance

Implementing and maintaining a robust fire safety system within your business premises helps towards risk reduction, enables safe and orderly egress, alerts authorities in the event of a fire, and helps to protect property from excessive damage. Moreover, it allows for business continuity, which could otherwise be disrupted. 

In Ireland, owners of commercial properties have a duty of care and must ensure that all “reasonable measures” are taken to protect any building occupants and to prevent fire. Therefore, your fire safety system should be left in the hands of a capable and certified team such as Stalwart Security & Fire. 

Fire Detection Systems

Intelligent Smoke & Fire Detection

Fire detection that provides early warning of the presence of smoke (optical smoke, heat, carbon monoxide) using advanced technologies such as smart sensors to reduce false alarms whilst being highly precise in detection. Suitable for commercial and industrial environments, everywhere from single-building retail shops to multi-tenant tenement blocks and multi-building campuses with high occupancy rates. 

Air Sampling Detection

A fire detection system using a pipe network to continuously draw in air and analyse particulate matter for the earliest possible detection and warning of an imminent fire. These systems use highly sensitive aspirating detection sensors and can detect the lowest smoke levels. They are highly beneficial in sensitive environments such as data centres, clean rooms, and warehouses.

Our team’s fully integrated and networked integration solutions mean that our fire alarm system installation will be compatible with building access control and monitoring systems. We provide PSA-certified and fully compliant installation and integration of fire alarms in Ireland. 

Testing & Service 

In order to maintain compliance and to ensure that a fire alarm service is in good working order, routine fire alarm system testing is necessary. According to the Fire Safety Guide for Building Owners and Operators, fire detection and fire alarm systems should be spot checked weekly; however, a competent person must conduct quarterly and annual testing/servicing in accordance with IS 3218 and provide a testing certificate upon completion. 

Our team carries out annual testing to ensure the ongoing reliability and compliance of our valued clients’ fire systems. 

Commercial Fire Alarm Systems 

Commercial fire alarm systems are responsible for alerting and protecting people and properties, and they must be able to remain functional and in good working order across just one business premises or even multiple zones and buildings. The complex nature of these commercial fire detection systems means they must be properly installed and integrated with other fire detection, suppression, and safety systems. 

Our solutions are ideal for commercial clients with multi-site facilities, warehouses, university campuses, retail shopping centres, and much more.

Fire Suppression Systems 


Fire suppression systems include all manner of water sprinklers, gaseous systems, foam extinguishers, and all other specialty solutions which are needed to control the spread or completely extinguish any detected fires within the premises. When used in conjunction with detection and alarm systems, fires can be contained or extinguished while all occupants safely evacuate the premises. 

All suppression systems must be serviced and inspected as per IS EN 12845, and they should always be installed by a competent and experienced company that specialises in fire safety such as Stalwart Security & Fire. Our team provides installation and testing services for discrete and integrated suppression systems such as sprinklers, gas systems, and other specialty suppression systems.

FAQs

Fire detection systems are either discrete or integrated technologies that aim to detect a fire within a building. They do this through the use of sensors calibrated to detect heat, smoke, flame, or even air particulate. When these sensors go off, the system will alert occupants via alarm so that they can safely evacuate the building. 

In Ireland, all businesses must take “reasonable measures” to protect occupants from fire and to have a fire system in place, according to the Fire Services Act. Whether the business caters to the general public, employees, or both, the business must be compliant with the law and exercise due diligence in terms of fire safety. 

A fire alarm should be spot-checked weekly, while quarterly and annual inspections should be conducted by a competent engineer in accordance with standards such as IS 3218. These inspections help to ensure full compliance and to verify that all components are functional and in good working order. Annual inspections yield a certificate which demonstrates compliance. 

Fire detection involves various methods of detecting and identifying the presence of smoke, heat, or flames and subsequently sounding alarms to help people evacuate from a building. Fire suppression involves methods of containing or extinguishing fires through the use of water sprinklers, gas, or foam once a fire has been detected.
