Fire is a constant, and ruthlessly indiscriminate, threat. Tragically, between two and three hundred fire-related deaths are recorded in the UK every year, many caused by preventable fires in the home and workplace. That’s why, ever since the development of our first fire blanket back in 1963, we’ve been resolutely committed to making the world a safer place. We are Firechief: a UK-based manufacturer of UK-approved fire-safety products.

Across the UK, fire and rescue services respond to approximately 35,000 fires each year. 48% of these fires start in the kitchen, making cooking the largest cause of domestic fires – and that number is even higher in student accommodation.

Preventing cooking fires before they start reduces the need for fire brigade callouts and the associated disruptions they bring and provides a safer living environment for all. Ultimately this means there will be no need for evacuation in shared accommodation, no fire or smoke damage to property, no costly cleanup from fire safety equipment and a reduced risk of injury or loss of life.

Firechief has supplied many PBSAs with its revolutionary Kitchen Stove Guard which eliminates kitchen fires by stopping them before they start. It is equally effective when fitted in new builds or retrospectively, is easy to install and requires no maintenance.
