Chester Rows - Current Installation
The Story
Because the Chester Rows are unique and their precise origins are unknown, they have been the subject of speculation. Chester has suffered from a series of fires. In 1278 the fire was so severe that almost the entire town within the walls was destroyed.
Fast forward 746 years, we are currently installing a vast number of aspirating smoke detection systems in the Cathedral City, which will go a long way in protecting the World-famous historic buildings.
The Design
We are covering the Rows with a wireless fire detection topology radio web, incorporating a number of advanced technology fire alarm control panels.
This layer of fire detection communication will be the backbone for the early warning systems, aspirating smoke detection, installed outside, protecting the historic fabric of the buildings.
False Alarm Management (Alarm Verification) will play a massive role in this installation, within both the control panels and the aspirating detection themselves.
The Vision
Working for Cheshire West and Chester Council and in collaboration with Cheshire Fire & Rescue Service (CF&RS), the aspirating smoke detection will provide early fire warning to the City's CCTV Control Centre.
The team within the Control Centre will monitor the zone that has activated a fire detection signal and if smoke is witnessed on the cameras, a 999 call to CF&RS will commence.
We have worked closely with CF&RS to collaborate a speedily response to the Rows, ensuring no wasteful Unwanted Alarm calls are attended.
