Hotels & Hostels
Hotels and hostels accommodate large numbers of people, often unfamiliar with the building layout and fire safety procedures. With guests sleeping overnight, the risk of delayed reaction during an emergency makes proactive fire suppression systems essential.
Protecting Guests & Staff
Whether it’s a boutique hotel, budget hostel, or large multi-storey complex, fire safety in the hospitality sector requires a robust approach. Guests come from all over the world, have different mobility levels, and are often on-site temporarily, making early fire suppression and clear evacuation procedures essential.

Why is Fire Suppression a Requirement in Hotels & Hostels?
Protection of Occupants
Hotels and hostels often house hundreds of people at a time, many of whom may be sleeping, disoriented, or unfamiliar with escape routes. Fire suppression provides immediate control of a fire, buying critical time for evacuation.
Regulatory Requirements
Hospitality venues fall under The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and UK Building Regulations. Compliance with these regulations often requires active fire suppression measures to ensure the safety of guests and staff.
Minimising Fire Spread
Fires in hotels can spread rapidly due to furnishings, bedding, and communal areas. Mist systems suppress flames while reducing smoke and heat, giving occupants valuable time to escape before the fire service arrive on site.
Protection of Staff, Property & Business Continuity
A fire can devastate a hotel or hostel, leading to extensive repair costs, business closure, and reputational damage. Suppression systems help protect the building, reduce downtime, and safeguard the livelihood of staff and owners.
Insurance & Liability
Many insurers require active fire suppression for hospitality properties. Installing a system can not only reduce premiums but also limit legal liability in the event of a fire.
Supporting Safe Evacuation
Guests may not respond quickly or know evacuation procedures. Suppression slows the fire’s growth, allowing staff to manage evacuation safely and effectively.
