1 INTRODUCTION
Brooks Australia is a specialist company offering 30 years of experience in design,
manufacture, installation, service and maintenance of fire detection and alarm systems.
These years of experience have, over the last 20 years, been focused on Residential Fire
Safety. The Building Code of Australia has set out the fire detection and alarm
requirements for residential occupancies, at the same time creating an awareness of the
need for such life safety systems within the wider community. Australian Standards have
established performance criteria for smoke and heat alarms.
Recognising the unique problems associated with early warning of fire in residential
accommodation, Brooks Australia has developed a range of residential fire alarm
equipment that enables systems design criteria normally applied to commercial premises
to now be adapted to residential occupancies.
In keeping with the philosophy of innovation, flexibility, reliability and quality, Brooks
Australia now offers a new residential fire safety system, the āALARM 2000ā. The Alarm
2000 is specifically designed for small residential occupancies requiring a Smoke Alarm
System under section E2.2 of the Building Code of Australia.
