Every year over 35,000 fires occur in workplaces across South Africa – if your business was next, are you prepared?
Fire is a powerful, destructive force that can cause devastating damage to property, threaten lives, and destroy the natural environment. Once a fire takes root, it can be extremely difficult to get under control and that’s why early detection fire safety measures are a fundamental aspect of business ownership that shouldn’t be ignored.
Fire has been identified as one of the top ten threats to your business, yet fire safety is not often a priority on the never-ending to-do list of business owners. However, research shows that most fires can be avoided with the proper safety measures in place.
Fires cost hundreds of millions of rands in losses each year – not prioritising fire protection is not only irresponsible, but it can be a costly mistake.
At TTK Surveillance, we understand how important it is to have effective fire safety protocols in place. That’s why we’ve designed an advanced fire detection system to protect your business, employees, and assets.
The Importance of Early Fire Detection for Your Business
Fire is not just flames and smoke – it has far-reaching consequences beyond the immediate damage to your property. Fire can lead to lost productivity in your business, increased insurance premiums and even costly legal ramifications. The knock on effect of a fire can impact your business negatively for years to come.
According to Arrive Alive, workplace fires can be caused by various factors from electrical faults, to flammable materials and human error, among others. Catching these potential threats early can be the difference between a minor scare and a major life-changing disaster. Investing in early detection fire safety measures is not just a nice thing to have, it’s the smart move that’s an essential part of future proofing your business.
Our team will work closely with you to understand your unique needs and create a customised plan for your business budget that fits seamlessly into your operations.
We start by conducting a FREE risk assessment for your business to help identify vulnerabilities on your premises. We will look at your building layout and material storage practices (among other things) and give you expert advice so you can develop a tailored fire safety protocol specific to your situation.

Proactive Measures for Fire Safety
So, what can you do to protect your business?
Knowledge is power – understanding what can go wrong is half the battle won. The other half is being proactive. In practice this looks like conducting regular risk assessments, training your employees on fire safety protocols, and installing advanced fire detection systems.
As a business owner, it’s your responsibility to make sure your employees know what to do in an emergency. You can turn boring fire training drills into a fun team-building exercise by making training sessions semi-competitive. This keeps people engaged as everyone learns how to use the fire extinguishers and the quickest path to the evacuation routes – besides, who doesn’t love a bit of friendly competition in the workplace?
By understanding the risks and taking appropriate preventative actions, businesses can significantly reduce the likelihood of fire-related incidents.
Introducing Our Advanced Fire Detection Technology
At TTK Surveillance, we offer cutting edge fire detection systems that take safety up a notch and give you complete peace of mind.
Here’s what makes our systems stand out above the rest:
Wireless Fire Detectors:
Our wireless detectors monitor your premises around the clock in real time and alert you immediately if there is smoke or a temperature increase is detected.
Photoelectric Sensors:
These sensors use advanced technology to detect smoke before it becomes a problem. If no smoke is present initially, the sensors still track temperature changes.
High Temperature Alarm:
This alarm activates when temperatures reach 60℃ or higher – definitely a sign that something is wrong.
Temperature Spike Alarm:
This alarm specifically monitors whether the temperature remains fairly constant. If the temperature rapidly increases by more than 30℃ in 30 minutes (or less), you’ll be notified straight away.
Smart Software Algorithms:
If you get a fire alert, you know there’s a problem because our system checks twice before sounding the alarm. When smoke triggers the device, the system will run a second check after 30 seconds and if smoke is detected again, you’ll be alerted. No false alarms and unnecessary interruptions – we know your time is precious.
This combination of features works perfectly in tandem and allows you to take swift action to protect your staff, property, and stock when a fire breaks out.
An Extra Safety Net for Your Business: CCTV Monitoring
One of the distinct standout features of our advanced fire detection system is that it can be integrated with CCTV monitoring for an extra layer of security. Our CCTV monitoring system is manned 24/7 so you can rest easy that there are vigilant eyes on your business at all times.
