Fire shutters are fitted to compartmentalise a building and therefore help prevent a fire from rapidly spreading. Fire shutters allow people to evacuate safely, also helping to make the work of the emergency services easier. A fire shutter only moves into its operational position in the event of a fire, and is normally wired into the building’s fire detection system and close automatically on a signal from the fire alarm.
