Detection panels
Conventional or addressable control and indicating panels sized to the building's zones and devices.
Fire alarm systems in Pakistan
Resco designs and installs conventional and addressable fire alarm systems in Pakistan, sized to the building and networked into its wider fire and life safety and building management systems.
Overview
Detection built around the building
A fire alarm system has to match the building it protects. Resco supplies both conventional panels, which report an alarm by zone, and addressable panels, which identify the exact device that triggered, and recommends the type after reviewing a building's layout, occupancy and any consultant requirements already set for the project.
The underlying architecture is modular and networked, so a system sized for a single floor or building can be extended as a site grows, and multiple panels across a campus or portfolio can be brought onto one network for central monitoring.
- Conventional fire alarm panels for smaller or simpler buildings
- Addressable fire alarm panels with device-level reporting
- Modular, networked architecture scalable to any building size
- Design based on the building's own layout and occupancy
Components
What a Resco fire alarm system includes
A fire alarm project can include some or all of the following, depending on the building and the design.
Detectors and call points
Smoke, heat and manual call point devices positioned to the building's layout and occupancy.
Networked architecture
Panels networked across floors, buildings or a wider site for centralised monitoring and control.
Notification and alarm routing
Alarm signals routed to building management and, where specified, to a monitored central station.
Integration with other systems
Fire alarm outputs linked to CCTV, access control and the BMS so a confirmed alarm triggers a coordinated response.
Design and drawings
Wiring diagrams, device schedules and system drawings produced during design and engineering.
Integration
Fire alarm systems working with the rest of the building
Resco designs fire alarm outputs to connect into a building's other systems, so an alarm does more than sound a bell.
- CCTV brought to relevant camera views on a confirmed alarm
- Access-controlled doors on evacuation routes released automatically
- HVAC and air handling shut down or reconfigured through the BMS on a smoke signal
- Automated notification of building management and, where required, monitored reporting
- A single networked architecture across floors, buildings or a portfolio

Across Pakistan
Fire alarm systems in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad
Resco installs and services fire alarm systems from its head office in Karachi and its regional offices in Lahore and Islamabad.
Karachi
Karachi's high-rise commercial towers and the industrial zones of SITE, Korangi and Port Qasim make up a significant share of Resco's fire alarm work, ranging from addressable panels in occupied office towers to networked detection across warehousing and plant.

Lahore
Resco's Gulberg office serves Lahore's commercial developments and its industrial estates, where fire alarm design has to cover both office floors and production areas, often on the same networked panel architecture.

Islamabad
In Islamabad, Resco's Blue Area office supports government and institutional buildings, and the same team covers Rawalpindi, where fire alarm systems are specified to each project's own consultant requirements.

How Resco delivers
How a fire alarm project is delivered
Resco follows the same delivery approach used across its fire and life safety and security work.
Assessment
A site review to understand the building's layout, occupancy and any existing fire safety infrastructure.
Design and engineering
Panel selection, device schedules, wiring diagrams and network topology produced for the project.
Installation and commissioning
Installation carried out with project management and quality checks at each stage, followed by commissioning.
Integration and support
Integration with CCTV, access control and the BMS, plus training and optional ongoing maintenance.
It depends on the building. Addressable systems identify the exact device in alarm, which suits larger or more complex buildings, while conventional systems report by zone and can suit smaller premises. Resco recommends the type after reviewing the building.
Cost is driven by building size, the number of zones and devices, whether the system is conventional or addressable, and how much integration with CCTV, access control and the BMS is required. Resco provides a costed proposal after a site assessment.
Yes, in most cases. Resco's fire alarm architecture is modular and networked, so additional panels, zones or buildings can typically be added to an existing system rather than replacing it.
Yes. Resco has regional offices in Lahore and Islamabad in addition to its Karachi head office, and delivers fire alarm projects for clients across Pakistan.
Resco designs and configures fire alarm systems to meet the fire codes and consultant specifications set for each project, confirmed with the client and their consultants during the design stage.
