Fire And Security
What is Fire and Security?
Fire and security are intertwined fields dedicated to protecting people, property, and assets from various risks, including theft, fire, natural disasters, and vandalism.
Fire Safety
Fire safety involves the prevention, detection, and suppression of fires using various technologies and systems. At the h3 group, we specialize in:
Fire Alarms (Smoke Detectors, Heat Alarms, CO Detectors, Alarm Panels)
Fire Extinguishers
Fire Doors and Exits
The goal is to minimize fire risks and limit their impact on people and assets.
Security
Security focuses on protecting people and assets from threats like theft, vandalism, arson, and other criminal activities. Key measures include:
CCTV Systems
Access Control including automatic barriers, ANPR, fingerprint readers etc
Emergency Lighting
Intruder Alarms
Fire safety and security often overlap, as many technologies serve both purposes. For example, some CCTV systems can monitor for intruders and smoke, alerting occupants to potential fires.
Canvey Island is a town, civil parish and reclaimed island in the Thames estuary, near Southend-on-Sea, in the Castle Point district, in the county of Essex, England. It has an area of 7.12 square miles (18.44 km2) and a population of 38,170.[1] It is separated from the mainland of south Essex by a network of creeks. Lying only just above sea level, it is prone to flooding at exceptional tides and has been inhabited since the Roman conquest of Britain.
The island was mainly agricultural land until the 20th century, when it became the fastest-growing seaside resort in Britain between 1911 and 1951. The North Sea flood of 1953 devastated the island, killing 58 islanders and leading to the temporary evacuation of the 13,000 residents.[3] Canvey is consequently protected by modern sea defences comprising 2 miles (3.2 km) of concrete sea walls.[4]
Canvey Island is also notable for its relationship to the petrochemical industry. The island was the site of the first delivery in the world of liquefied natural gas by container ship and later became the subject of an influential assessment on the risks to a population living within the vicinity of petrochemical shipping and storage facilities.
