Modern residential fire safety is evolving rapidly. Increasingly connected homes, changing lifestyles and new technologies are transforming how we prevent, detect and respond to fire. At the same time, emerging risks—such as electric vehicle (EV) parking garages and unattended cooking—highlight the importance of maintaining trust in fire detection and alarm systems while adapting to new safety challenges. Join this webinar to explore these developments and discuss practical solutions for safer homes.

Meet Euralarm at CIPRE 2026 where Christian Grossenbacher will contribute with a keynote on Resilience by Design: how fire and security technologies protect critical infrastructure.

Meet Euralarm at the Romanian Security Fair where Paul van der Zanden will contribute with a keynote speech on the resilience of European security in the context of geopolitical changes.
