About Blaze Guard

A consultancy built on expertise, integrity, and a commitment to keeping people safe.

Blaze Guard team

Founded on a Mission to Protect

Blaze Guard Consultancy was established in 2016 by Sarah Brennan, a fire safety engineer with over fifteen years of experience in the built environment. After witnessing too many businesses struggle with fire safety compliance, Sarah set out to create a consultancy that made expert fire safety advice accessible and actionable.

Based on Colmore Row in Birmingham's business district, we serve commercial landlords, property managers, facilities teams, and developers across the West Midlands and beyond. Our team combines engineering expertise with a genuine passion for safety.

Today, Blaze Guard has completed over 500 fire safety audits, designed suppression systems for buildings of all sizes, and helped hundreds of organisations achieve and maintain full compliance.
