FireAngel continues to be a popular choice for housing associations

One of Europe’s leading smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarm suppliers, FireAngel, has secured three partnerships with high profile housing associations throughout Scotland, providing alarms to over 17,000 properties across the country.

Following the Scottish Government’s pending legislative changes, Queens Cross Housing Association and Caledonia Housing Association have chosen FireAngel’s range of alarms through the Scottish Procurement For Housing (PFH) scheme, and River Clyde Housing Association has also selected FireAngel to help meet these new regulations.

Under these changes to the Housing (Scotland) Act following the Grenfell fire tragedy, all homes will require sealed long-life battery or mains wired alarms that are interlinked, with one functioning smoke alarm in the room that is frequently used by the occupants in the daytime.

It will also require one functioning smoke alarm in every circulation space on every floor, such as hallways and landings and one heat alarm in every kitchen. A carbon monoxide alarm will also need to be fitted in each room with a carbon-fuelled appliance or flue.

A combination of the FireAngel Specification range of mains powered alarms and Wi-Safe 2 battery powered alarms have been chosen to give greater flexibility to ensure each property achieves constant compliance through the use of interlinked alarms installed in the kitchen, hallways, landings and living room, but also due to the utilisation of FireAngel’s unique remote monitoring platform FireAngel Connect. Working closely with the housing associations and their technical teams, the alarms will be installed throughout next year.

James King, Trade Business Unit Director for FireAngel, commented: “Following the legislative changes that will come into place in March 2019, FireAngel is extremely proud to be working closely with such prestigious housing associations throughout Scotland.

"The FireAngel range of battery and mains alarms provides a flexible and affordable solution for housing associations to not only comply with upcoming regulations but also provide its tenants with the highest level of protection.”
