C3 Shared Services and Fike announce partnership

September 2012 News & Events

C3 Shared Services has announced it has secured a business partnership with Fike, a supplier of products and services that protect people and critical assets from dangers such as fire, explosion, and over-pressurisation.

C3 will mainly be concentrating on the SigniFire range of intelligent fire detection from Fike. SigniFire is a flame, smoke and reflective flame detection solution. The camera-based detection system visually detects the presence of fire or smoke at its source, independent of airflow in the area. SigniFire is a critical advantage for early warning fire detection, identifying and reacting to fire situations in their earliest stages and protecting lives and property.

Brendon Cowley, business development director for C3, says, “The advantages of this intelligent system are numerous. Firstly, there is the advantage of the early warning detection capabilities which greatly minimises the damage that fire can cause if not caught early enough and also allows for a speedy reaction from the appropriate response team to deal with the fire on hand.

“Secondly, SigniFire, video smoke and flame detection technology, is an authorised initiating device per NFPA 72, National Fire Code and SigniFire is FM approved and UL listed for the purpose of flame and smoke detection. Thirdly, the visual verification of fire is hugely advantageous over your traditional methods of smoke or fire detection and can often be used to pinpoint the cause of the fire, a tool that can be used to prevent the same situation from recurring.”

“Fike Video is excited to partner with C3SS as it is a recognised leader in South Africa as a high-end security integrator with an excellent track record and reputation for total customer service,” stated Mac Mottley, GM, Fike Video Image Detection.
