Contempo – fire safety equipment that exudes elegance

Not just a pretty exterior

Fire safety is vital all year round, year-on-year statistics show total number of fires attended by FRSs decreased for around a decade, falling from a recent peak of around 474,000 in 2003/04 to the series low of around 154,000 in 2012/13. Since then the total number of fires has slowly increased, with an increase of 3% in the last year from around 162,000 in 2016/17 to around 167,000 in 2017/18, which is why it’s important to ensure every step is taken to prevent them.

The accreditation bodies view this as not part of the safety, operation and testing of the unit and is purely cosmetic the CE mark can be attached.
