Profile:
Founded over four decades ago, Alberta Fire & Security Ltd has established itself as Malta’s leading authority in fire protection and security systems. From its headquarters in Birkirkara, the company has built a reputation for delivering dependable, high-quality solutions that serve homes, businesses, and industries across the islands. Over the years, Alberta has become synonymous with technical competence, regulatory compliance, and reliability, earning the trust of clients in all those sectors where safety and operational continuity are paramount.
The company’s standing is reinforced by its unique position as the only fire safety and security provider outside the UK and Ireland to hold Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB) approval. This internationally recognised certification underlines Alberta’s commitment to rigorous quality standards and effective performance. Their client base extends across much of Malta’s population, reflecting both the scale of their operations and the confidence the market places in their expertise.
Alberta’s work spans the full spectrum of fire safety and security provision. Their teams design, install, and maintain advanced fire detection and alarm systems, tailored to the size, complexity, and requirements of each site. In addition to detection, Alberta implements structural fire protection such as certified fire doors and fire-resistant storage, alongside suppression systems including FM-200, Argonite, CO2, and water-mist solutions- essential for protecting sensitive environments like industrial facilities and maritime installations. Specialist systems, such as the Defguard alarm for individuals with hearing impairments, highlight their commitment to inclusive safety measures.
The security division delivers integrated solutions to prevent intrusion, monitor activity, and control access with precision. Intruder alarms, video surveillance, automated entry controls, and secure communication networks are executed with the same attention to durability that characterises Alberta’s fire protection work. The company also deploys complex management systems unifying multiple safety and security functions, enabling real-time oversight and rapid response in critical situations.
Support is a cornerstone of Alberta’s service model. From consultation, to testing, training, and maintenance, the company ensures clients have the expertise and assistance to keep operations secure. This is particularly vital in the maritime sector, where Alberta’s marine-ready systems safeguard assets and lives both at port and at sea. Their 24/7 emergency assistance underscores an understanding of the urgency safety demands, especially in high-stakes environments.
Alberta’s Marine Division has undertaken complex assignments on vessels ranging from cruise liners and cargo ships to iconic superyachts such as The Maltese Falcon, delivering bespoke fire protection for engine rooms and bilges. These installations often utilise low-pressure water-and-foam mist systems routed through stainless-steel (316L) networks, ensuring effective response without compromising vessel integrity. Beyond onboard protection, Alberta has strengthened port and harbour resilience through advanced coastal security networks powered by fibre-optic and wireless technologies, enabling round-the-clock monitoring of bays, berths, and quays.
As a class-approved service provider, Alberta maintains and certifies onboard systems in compliance with the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) standards and class societies including DNV, Lloyd’s, RINA, and Bureau Veritas. This includes installing high- and low-pressure mist systems (FM-200, Novec 1230, CO2), retrofitting vessels to modern safety requirements, and issuing valid inspection certificates – ensuring ships sail safely, on time, and fully compliant.
Alberta’s success rests not only on technology and certification but also on the skills of its people. Continuous training through its in-house academy ensures every project is delivered by professionals equipped with the latest knowledge and techniques. This combination of experience, innovation, and service focus has made Alberta Fire & Security a trusted partner also to Malta’s maritime and industrial community, where safety is a fundamental requirement.
