Hochiki Europe donates fire detection devices to support FIA’s Northwich facility

Hochiki Europe’s donation to the facility includes a variety of products, among them addressable surface-mounted manual Call Points, isolators, bases, programmable heat sensors, optical smoke sensors and multi-sensors.

Recommended by numerous Fire and Rescue Services across the UK, these devices are purpose-designed to help reduce false alarms and ensure effective fire protection.

Additionally, the donation includes visual alarm devices or VADs, which are essential for aiding the evacuation of vulnerable people in various settings such as schools, hospitals and care homes.
