Eff-Tech said yesterday it has formed an alliance with international fire prevention and life safety provider, Vipond Inc.

Vipond, a Canadian company that has been operating in Bermuda since 1985 specialises in fire protection systems and has a certified senior technician in Bermuda to carry out installations, testing and inspections of life safety fire protection systems.

Paul Gagné, branch general manager, International Division, Vipond says: “Many of the fire protection systems in Bermuda are not inspected or maintained regularly. Ongoing inspections and maintenance ensure your fire protection system is working correctly.”

Reginald Lloyd Burchall, Chief Fire Officer, comments: “We encourage owners of commercial properties to invest in fire protection systems as they ultimately save lives. In addition to installing fire protection systems, regular inspections are also crucial to ensure the systems are operating effectively in case a fire breaks out.”
