You’re managing multiple residential blocks and feeling the pressure of changing fire safety laws. It’s tough keeping up with the legal demands while ensuring residents actually feel safe in their own homes. You don’t want the risk of a non-compliant building on your shoulders, and you definitely don’t have the time to chase contractors who fail to turn up when promised. A failing or outdated setup leaves you exposed to serious legal trouble and, worse, puts lives at risk.

We install and upgrade bespoke, BS 8629 compliant evacuation alert systems designed specifically for the fire service to use. This isn’t your standard commercial fire alarm. We fit robust Evacuation Alert Control and Indicating Equipment (EACIE) that gives the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service total control over managing an evacuation in high-rise residential buildings. We ensure your building meets the strict requirements of the Scottish Building Standards and BS 8629:2019 (+A1:2023) code of practice.

What Is an Evacuation Alert System?

An evacuation alert system is a dedicated life-safety system that enables the fire and rescue service to set off sounders in groups of flats, usually a floor at a time, to alert residents to evacuate.

Unlike a standard fire alarm system, it is not intended for day-today occupant use. Instead, it provides firefighters with direct control to initiate a phased or full evacuation or full evacuation strategy as required.

Following the tragic Grenfell Tower fire, legislation and fire safety guidance were strengthened across the UK. In both Scotland and England, evacuation alert systems are now a requirement in all new residential buildings over 18 metres in height, with many existing high-rise buildings also requiring installation as part of updated fire safety measures.

Evacuation alert systems operate as standalone systems and do not integrate with other building services. The ensures reliability, clarity of control, and dedicated functionality for emergency service use when it matters most.

Customer Success Story

Glasgow Office Complex

The old system was unserviceable and lacked proper battery backup. RACAM stepped in, replaced the outdated Disabled Refuge Line Controllers, and installed 15 new Type B outstations across five floors.

The project was completed in three days, ensuring the building remained occupied and fully compliant without any operational downtime.

Do all buildings need fire evacuation systems Glasgow?

Not all buildings, but they are increasingly mandatory for new high-rise residential buildings over 18 metres under current Scottish regulations.

Who is allowed to operate the control panel?

Only the fire and rescue service.

The EACIE panel is locked and secure from public access.

Will installing this disrupt my tenants?

Some disruption to occupants is unavoidable as access to each flat is required.

We plan the cable routes carefully to keep drilling, noise, and overall disruption to an absolute minimum.

We also install wireless or hybrid systems where cabling is not practical.

The Responsible Person should inspect the main enclosure every month for signs of tampering, with a full service by a competent engineer every six months.

Operation of each individual evacuation alert device must be checked over a 12-month period.

Does the maintenance engineer need access to every flat to test the system?

alexander hallam

I am taking this opportunity to award you the finest Rating for my FRESH FISH ORDER. I spent hours searching for a wet fish supplier on the NET. I patiently waited for the delivery in my front garden and was met with the APC COURIER with A BOX OF FRESH FISH. All of the 4 TYPES OF FISH were individually sealed and stored in a large POLYSTYRENE BOX with frozen GELL. I cooked the Haddock and the Halibut for our evening meal; I have never tasted such nicer Fish. I have another 5 portions of various fish to sample in the next few days, I cannot wait.!! Thank You. I look forward to a long lasting arrangement.
