Cinema gets Fire-Cryer

The Odeon cinema in Camden, London has upgraded to Vimpex's Fire-Cryer Plus 7-message voice sounders to ensure fast and safe evacuation of staff and the public in the event of a fire. The combination of the common alarm tone with clear and unambiguous voice messages ensures that there is no confusion when building evacuation is required.

The Fire-Cryer was specified by Peter Ford, Odeon UK's risk management director, following its use in many other ODEON cinemas across the UK in recent years. The upgrade was designed and installed by Premier Fire Systems, which has also worked on many of the other Odeon projects.
