It’s 3am. You’re jolted awake by an unfamiliar sound. Not loud enough to be in your house or a car out front—but just loud enough to yank you out of sleep. An alarm. A bl**dy annoying alarm.

Most people in this situation will mutter a curse, roll over, and hope it stops. A few might get up, peer through the curtains, and try to spot the source. If nothing’s obvious, someone might eventually call Noise Control to investigate.

But what if the person woken isn't you?

What if it’s a resident near your business? Your fire alarm has activated—doing exactly what it's supposed to do—because a fire has broken out in your building. It’s taking hold fast. Every minute now counts.
​
If you had fire alarm monitoring, the fire brigade would already be on their way, alerted electronically the moment the alarm sounded via secure electronic messaging.

But you don’t.

So they’re not.
​
Maybe Noise Control will show up… eventually.

​A report by the Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service in the UK found that:

• 25% of businesses never reopen after a serious fire.
• 80% of companies that don’t recover within a month will likely fail.

These stats are sobering—and while the report is from the UK, there’s no reason to believe New Zealand businesses fare any better. Could your business survive a major fire?

​It’s estimated that 7 out of 8 commercial buildings in New Zealand aren’t directly connected to Fire and Emergency NZ (FENZ). That means if a fire breaks out when no one’s around, your business is reliant on someone nearby noticing, caring, and making a phone call. Is that a risk worth taking?

Do they?
​
Some businesses rely on their security company for “fire monitoring”—which typically means a phone call to a list of contacts if something seems off. But what if:

• Daniel (first on the list) left two years ago?
• Sarah (second) has her phone on silent—because it’s 3am?
• You’re third… and half-asleep when you answer?

​
By the time you get the call, you might as well grab marshmallows on the way—because it could be too late to stop the damage.

At AFAM, we take fire alarm monitoring seriously. It’s what we do—all day, every day—for commercial premises of all sizes  across New Zealand.
