Fire Alarm Division
The Fire Alarm Division was established in 2001 with one fire alarm engineer, the division now have 7 BPFSA trained fire alarm engineers located throughout the region. We also have BFPSA certificated fire alarm engineers who are also fully licensed BAFE extinguisher technicians to enable us to offer cost effective servicing of both the Alarms & Extinguishers at the same time.
This should not be confused with some companies who have competent Alarm Engineers who also ‘Do’ the Fire Extinguishers, the ‘Responsible Person’ of a business / premises should ensure that any fire safety maintenance is carried out by competent contractors.
Our Fire Alarm Manager Steve Bowley joined Firewatch from a national company and has been involved in many large and complex projects including the Millenium Dome and the new Met Office in Exeter.The division gained approval [see latest news] for the BAFE SP203 modular scheme through the National Security Inspectorate [NSI].

Emergency Lighting
Emergency lighting is essential for the safety of building occupants.
It is vital that the emergency lighting automatically operates in the event of normal lighting failure. The illumination levels and period of time the illumination can be sustained should be sufficient to allow the building occupants to evacuate safely and locate both fire alarm, firefighting and first aid equipment. We offer design, installation and maintenance of all types of emergency lighting both maintained and non-maintained.
