This week marks Electrical Fire Safety Week 2026 in the UK, a campaign that Global Fire & Security are proud to support. The theme for this year’s campaign is to warn against ‘Ignoring The Beep’. If your fire system is beeping or displaying a fault code, it isn't a nuisance, it’s a call to action.
This video from Electrical Safety First highlights why you should never ignore the warning sounds from your smoke alarm:
Why Fire Alarm Servicing is Non Negotiable:
Government statistics reveal a startling gap in protection:
- Absent Alarms: Smoke alarms were missing in over 33% of fire related fatalities last year.
- Maintenance Gaps: 43% of people admit they don't test their alarms as often as recommended, often because a lack of visible danger leads to complacency.
- The Survival Gap: You are 11 times more likely to survive a fire in a building equipped with a fully functional, maintained fire alarm system, compared to one without.
