VELOX Life Safety provides smart wireless fire alarm system tailored specially for villas and townhouses, in collaboration with Dubai Civil Defence

In a world where safety is paramount, every step towards enhancing residential protection is a significant stride towards safeguarding homes and loved ones. To make homes safer from fires, the UAE has introduced a new rule that requires better fire safety measures in residential buildings. Since January 2024, the installation of fire alarms has become mandatory for all homeowners in the UAE, marking a significant milestone in the nation’s commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of its residents.

This new regulation comes as a proactive response to the potential risks posed by fire incidents in residential settings. While the UAE boasts modern infrastructure and stringent building codes, the tragic reality is that fires can still occur, often with devastating consequences.
This mission is at the heart of the collaboration between ATEIS Middle East & VELOX Life Safety and the Dubai Civil Defence, which aims to introduce state-of-the-art fire protection systems that address the unique needs of homeowners, ensuring swift and effective protection against the impact of fires.
For those who have not yet installed fire alarms, they will first receive a warning and then possibly fines for those who continue not to comply.
Maj Gen Ali Hassan Al Mutawa, Dubai’s Assistant Director-General for Fire and Rescue Affairs, emphasised the importance of proactive measures in safeguarding homes. He stated, “We encourage all homeowners to take immediate action and install the system to ensure their homes are well-equipped to handle any potential fire incidents. We hope to have the system in all villas in the emirate by the end of the year.”
