major upgrade to their fire alarm system. In the first phase of the project, Moorfields has replaced fire alarm bells with 250 multi-message Fire-Cryer Plus voice sounders. When the project is complete, the hospital will have over 500 Fire-Cryers fitted.

the traditional bell tone, the Fire-Cryers have been programed so that a realistic bell tone precedes the evacuation and alarm messages. The system has been configured into 48 zones to allow phased evacuation of the building in the event of a fire.
