Hochiki Europe Supports FIA Training Facility with Fire Detection Devices

Hochiki Europe, a leading manufacturer of fire detection devices, is proud to announce its significant donation to the new Fire Training Association (FIA) training facility in Northwich. The company has provided a range of cutting-edge fire detection equipment to equip the facility’s practical bays, where students can gain hands-on experience with real-world fire system installations.

Hochiki Europe’s donation to the new FIA training facility in Northwich includes a variety of market-leading products, such as addressable surface mounted MCPs, isolators, bases, programmable heat sensors, optical smoke sensors, and multi-sensors. These types of devices, recommended by numerous firefighting services across the UK, are designed to help reduce false alarms and ensure effective fire protection. Additionally, the donation includes VADs (Voice Alarm Devices), which are essential for aiding the evacuation of vulnerable people in various settings such as schools, hospitals, and care homes.

“We are thrilled to support the FIA in its mission to train the next generation of fire safety engineers,” said Shinsuke Kubo, Managing Director of Hochiki Europe. “By providing our latest fire detection devices, we can help ensure that these future professionals have the skills and knowledge they need to safeguard lives and property.”

The FIA’s new training facility in Northwich offers a convenient location for individuals based in the North of England, providing easier access to businesses and student engineers based in the region looking to the FIA for industry-recognised courses.

Founded in 1918 in Japan, Hochiki has a rich history of innovation in fire safety technology. The company’s commitment to providing reliable and effective fire detection solutions has made it a trusted name in the industry. The FIA, established just two years prior, is a leading organisation representing the fire protection and fire safety industry in the United Kingdom. For over a century, the FIA has been dedicated to promoting best practices, providing training, and supporting the development of fire safety professionals.

The partnership between Hochiki Europe and the FIA brings together two organisations with a shared commitment to advancing fire safety. By combining Hochiki’s expertise in fire detection technology with the FIA’s extensive training experience, this collaboration will help equip the next generation of fire safety engineers with the knowledge and skills necessary to protect lives and property.
