Hochiki Europe Proud to Support New FIA Training Facility

Hochiki Europe, the leading manufacturer of life safety solutions, is thrilled to announce its support for the opening of the Fire Industry Association's (FIA) new hands-on training bays at their Northwich training facility.

As a longstanding partner and supporter of the FIA, Hochiki Europe has provided a selection of its industry-leading ESP intelligent product range free of charge to help equip the new training facility. This cutting-edge equipment will enable fire and safety professionals to gain valuable hands-on experience with some of the most advanced life safety technology on the market.

 

The opening of the new training bays represents an important milestone for the FIA and the wider fire safety industry, when they are officially opened at a special event on 26th September 2024.  They form part of the FIA's ongoing commitment to delivering world-class fire safety education and practical training, with the facility allowing trainees to simulate real-life fire scenarios and interact directly with a range of fire control panels, detection equipment and alarm devices.
