throughout the years are a direct result of these types of requests. If you
have a false fire alarm issue, theft, vandalism or other problem, we invite you
to contact us with the challenge of solving it for you.

False fire alarms on the rise: Do you require a solution?
More than 3,000 false fire alarms were maliciously triggered
across England in 2017/18 – disrupting schools and businesses, placing
unnecessary strain on our emergency services and reducing the confidence the
general public have in alarms.
The latest Home Office figures reveal that; there were a
total of 3,029 false alarms caused by a ‘malicious activation of fire call
point/alarm’ in England for the period July 1 2017 to June 30 2018, an increase
of 160 on the previous year, and the highest figure seen for over 5 years.
Accidental activations also saw an increase during this
period; 14,199 false fire alarms were recorded due to a manual call point being
‘accidentally or carelessly’ set off, a significant increase of 472 false
alarms and again the highest number since 2012.
A further 782 false alarms were recorded due to damage to
the apparatus for the year ending June 2018, up from 750 on the previous year.
Continuing to be the largest incident type, false fire
alarms accounted for 41 per cent of the incidents attended by Fire and Rescue
Services in England – fires accounted for just 29 per cent.
