Has Automist Smartscan Hydra been tested against real-life scenarios?

To complement our BS8458 testing, we worked with fire engineers in the US to ensure the system performed against real-life scenarios including oil cooking fires with the hob turned on, challenging fires under the head, and even concealed fires.

We set up the test below to demonstrate the effectiveness of the system when manually triggered early to tackle a dangerous fast-growing Christmas tree free. A dried Christmas tree burns faster than paper.
