Responder stations upgrade
Bull Products, a manufacturer of life-saving fire protection equipment, has upgraded its First Responder Stations with a smart solution that is designed to significantly reduce costs for contractors and construction companies, and ensure quicker detection installation.
Unlike mobile first responder stations – which incorporate fire extinguishers and a Cygnus fire alarm – heat and smoke detectors have to be fixed to ceilings or walls using ladders or podiums, which can be cumbersome and impose a risk of a fall from height.
Bull Products carried out an investigation to find out exactly what is involved when installing detectors, which revealed that extra tools and equipment are required, as well as the time to fulfil the installation to relevant standards.
As a result, Bull Products has developed its First Responder Stations to now incorporate an optional height-extending pole that is designed to attach to the back of the First Responder Stations.
The pole can be raised to a height of over three metres with a detector attached to the top, and it can be adjusted to position the detector at any height between 2.1 and 3.2 metres from the ground.
