Posted By Leon Zacharow We have recently opened a number of offices in Paris which currently have manned security guards on site. We are looking to install a monitored security system which will allow us to remove the guards outside office hours. At the same time we are looking into having the fire alarms monitored off site as we do in the UK. However, we are being told by the security company in Paris that the regulations in France require a fire to be visually verified by a guard, before the fire brigade can be contacted. Can anyone please give me some advice of where I may find some information regarding this matter?
