Comelit-PAC has been working with partners GB Integrated Systems to fit fire safety solutions at Claremont Primary School to ensure the safety of pupils, staff and visitors.
To ensure ongoing fire safety at the Manchester-based school, GB Integrated Systems carried out a risk assessment of the fire safety measures in place. Following the recommendation to upgrade the addressable panels, Comelit-PAC was specified, using its LogiFire solution.
Mrs Charlton, School Business Manager at Claremont Primary School says: “It is crucial that all our pupils and staff, together with the local community, are safe at our school. This is especially important in relation to fire safety, where we work with the local authority under the guidance of the Department for Education towards the same goals of ensuring a safe environment.
“This means regularly assessing our systems, ensuring they are fit for purpose and compliant. Here, we worked with GB Integrated Systems to evaluate our fire safety plan, following a full fire safety risk assessment. They recommended a new fire system that could be installed to seamlessly operate with our fire door détentes, access control and building management system, helping us to monitor activity remotely.”
GB Integrated Systems specified Comelit-PAC’s LogiFire Easy system. The school required a two-loop system together with detection and AV devices.
Mike Gray, Technical Director at GB Integrated Systems added: “Fire safety in schools is incredibly important, to increase the chance of early detection and allow optimal time to evaluate the risk, respond, remediate, and potentially avoid evacuation of pupils, staff and facility damage or loss. The key to minimising the risk is ensuring maintenance checks on a routine basis.
“Claremont School is the perfect example, where we could identify when the upgrade was required. We chose Comelit-PAC’s LogiFire solution because we knew the system could be delivered quickly and installed utilising the existing fire cabling infrastructure. This not only saved us time but minimises the disruption to daily learning timetables and ensures a compliant solution that is designed to seamlessly blend with its surroundings.”
