These features allow us to respond quickly and efficiently to potential fire hazards and faults, which is critical in a school environment where thousands of young lives are being protected. This is an investment not only in technology, but also in peace of mind for staff, parents and the wider community.”

The Nimbus remote fire alarm management platform is designed to make life simpler and stress-free for fire system installers, maintenance engineers and end users, while replacing multiple channels, such as spreadsheets, whiteboards, calendars and job sheets, etc with a simple and automated solution. Nimbus can be installed alongside new systems or retrofitted to existing ones.”
