What is a voice fire alarm?

A voice fire alarm is a safety system that uses pre-recorded voice messages to alert people to the presence of fire and guide them to emergency exits in a safe and efficient manner.

How does a voice fire alarm work?

These systems are integrated with smoke, heat and other sensors. When an emergency is detected, a control centre activates the loudspeakers, emitting clear and concise messages indicating the location of the fire and the actions to be taken.

What are the advantages of a voice fire alarm over traditional sirens?

Greater clarity: Voice messages provide specific and detailed information about the emergency, making it easier for people to understand and respond.
Accurate guidance: Voice alarms can indicate the safest evacuation routes and direct people to emergency exits.
Adaptability: Messages can be customised to suit different types of buildings and situations.
Reduced confusion: By providing clear and concise information, people are less likely to panic or make wrong decisions.

What types of messages can be used in a voice alarm?

Messages may vary depending on the situation, but generally include:

General alert: “Attention! Fire! Evacuate the building immediately.”
Indication of affected area: “Fire detected on the ground floor. Evacuate by emergency stairs.”
Evacuation instructions: “Go to the nearest exit. Do not use the lifts.”

How do I select the right voice alarm system?

The choice of system will depend on factors such as the size of the building, the number of people occupying the site, the complexity of the installation and local regulations. It is advisable to consult a fire safety specialist.

What maintenance does a voice fire alarm require?

Voice alarm systems should be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure proper operation. Maintenance tasks include:

Periodic testing: To verify that all components are working properly.
Cleaning of detectors: To avoid false alarms.
Checking the batteries: To ensure that the system works in the event of a power failure.

Can a voice alarm be integrated with other security systems?

Yes, voice alarms can be integrated with other security systems, such as surveillance cameras, access control and fire suppression systems, to provide more comprehensive protection.

What is the cost of a voice alarm system?

The cost of a voice alarm system varies depending on the size of the building, the complexity of the installation and additional features. Request a quote now.

Is it mandatory to have a voice fire alarm?

Although there is no general law requiring all buildings to have voice alarm systems, there are specific regulations governing their installation in certain cases:

Hospital buildings: In all hospitals, clinics and primary care centres, the installation of voice alarm systems is mandatory.
Public buildings: Buildings where more than 500 people congregate, such as theatres, cinemas, shopping centres or sports venues, usually require voice alarm systems.
Industries: In certain industries, especially those with high occupancy density or fire risk, the installation of voice alarm systems is highly recommended, and in some cases, mandatory.

What happens if I do not comply with the regulations?

Failure to comply with fire safety regulations can lead to administrative and, in serious cases, even criminal sanctions. In addition, in the event of a fire, the lack of an adequate alarm system can put people’s lives at risk and give rise to civil liabilities.
