Chubb will supply fire alarms and integrated systems to Bulwell Academy, Nottingham
The solution includes fire alarm, disabled refuge, PA, intruder alarm and toilet alarms.

Chubb Fire and Security has won a contract with the Bulwell Academy, Nottingham, to supply an integrated fire and security alarm system. Chubb Fire is part of UTC Fire & Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp.
