Apollo fire detectors are preventing TV stars and their dance studios from disappearing in a blaze of glory.

One of the largest dance studios in Europe is being protected by Apollo fire detectors.

The City Limits venue in Sheffield is home to BBC1’s Strictly Come Dancing TV stars Darren Bennett and Lilia Kopylov.

Its new fire detection system, based on Apollo intelligent technology and incorporating a range of detectors and ancillary products from the XP95 range, was supplied by Rexel Senate Sheffield and installed by SHS, which also maintains the system.

The fire detection system is arranged over two loops, with Apollo fire detectors installed over all three floors.

Incorporating more than 100 XP95 detectors and ancillary products, the system was designed primarily around heat and optical smoke point detectors.

The upper landing at the City Limits venue is a particularly large, open space, and an Apollo intelligent beam detector was used so that optimum fire protection can be maintained.

As well as sounders, beacons for the sounders were incorporated to take into account people who are hearing-impaired.

In the event of an alarm being raised, the fire system initiates an immediate evacuation sequence throughout the building.
