Chubb Fire and Security donates alarm system to Amanzimtoti Surf Life Saving Club

Durban, South Africa, 3 June 2013 - Chubb Fire and Security has donated an intruder detection system to the Amanzimtoti Surf Life Saving Club and will also be providing a monitoring and response service free of charge to the organisation. One of the country's leading fire and security organisations, Chubb Fire and Security is part of UTC Climate, Controls and Security, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).

The alarm system installed by Chubb consists of an eight zone alarm panel; four passive infra-red detectors; two door contacts; an LED keypad; a battery and transformer as well as a siren.

"We are delighted at the support Chubb has shown us and are exceptionally grateful for their generous and timeous donation," said Nick du Preez of the club.

Founded in 1928, the Amanzimtoti Surf Lifesaving Club is now 85 years old. Situated on the Amanzimtoti main beach the club patrols the beach at Inyoni Rocks where, during peak holiday seasons, crowds up to 20 000 can pack the beach. Over the years, the club has had many great achievements behind its name - National Cub of the year, National Squad of the year and National Administrator of the year.

Bridget Aves, regional managing director of Chubb Fire and Security Kwa Zulu-Natal said her organisation was only too willing to assist an organisation who provided such an essential service to not only the community, but the many visitors who used the beach during holiday periods and long weekends.
