• Smoke & CO Detectors — Installing and testing detectors is the cheapest single step that protects both life and property.
• Fire Extinguisher — Easily stored out of sight, an extinguisher turns a small kitchen fire into a non-event.
• Safes & Lockers — Keyless safes let guests set their own code for passports, jewellery and electronics while they are out.
