Although (the Department for Communities and Local Government's 'Fire statistics' reveal) the number of such incidents has fallen every year since 2006/07, UK fire and rescue services still attended over 312,400 'false fire alarms,' i.e. instances where, on arriving at a site, they found no fire, in 2011/12. Such incidents have been a significant concern for healthcare facilities teams, and for the fire and rescue services serving them, for many years, and, although the past decade has seen determined efforts to substantially reduce the number bearing fruit, many believe far too many still occur. HEJ editor, Jonathan Baillie, reports on a recent London roundtable discussion staged by two leading fire detection and alarm equipment specialists, Apollo Fire Detectors, and Static Systems Group, with IHEEM, which brought together experts to discuss what more can be done to minimise false fire alarms.
尽管（社区及地方政府部的“火灾统计数据”显示）自2006/07年度以来此类事件的数量每年都在下降，但在2011/12年度，英国消防与救援部门仍处理了超过312,400起“误报火警”事件，即抵达现场后发现并无火灾的情况。多年来，此类事件一直是医疗机构团队以及为其服务的消防与救援部门极为关注的问题，尽管在过去十年中已下定决心大幅减少此类事件数量并取得了成效，但许多人认为此类事件仍发生得过于频繁。《医院工程杂志》编辑乔纳森·贝利报道了由两家领先的火灾探测与报警设备专家公司——阿波罗火灾探测器公司和静态系统集团与医疗设备工程师学会（IHEEM）近期在伦敦举办的一次圆桌讨论，该讨论汇聚了专家们，共同探讨如何进一步采取措施将误报火警事件减至最少。
