Fire alarms across Dover district

Dover’s economy runs on the port, and around it are warehouses, logistics yards and industrial units, as well as the offices on White Cliffs Business Park at Whitfield. Larger sites like these often need addressable systems, so a fire is pinpointed to a single device, and fire alarm interfaces with doors, gates and plant.

Along the coast, Deal and Walmer have hotels, guest houses, pubs and independent shops, and Sandwich has one of the best-preserved historic town centres in England, where wireless systems help protect listed buildings.

Kent Fire and Rescue usually needs a fire confirmed first

For most premises, callers must confirm a fire, or signs of fire, before crews are sent to an automatic fire alarm, day and night. Your fire procedure needs to say who checks and who calls 999.
