FIRE ALARM MONITORING

Building codes across North America are somewhat uniform in the requirement of 'UNMONITORED' fire alarm systems including 'Pull Station's, 'Audible Alert' (Bells Sirens), 'Detection Device's (Smoke Detectors, Sprinkler Heads) in most multi use buildings including apartments, schools, library's, office buildings, warehouse's etc.

Unfortunately MOST PEOPLE make the ASSUMPTION the presence of these devices indicate they are connected to A FIRE DEPARTMENT...

Commercial fire alarms include all apartment buildings, warehouses, retail centers, storage facilities and any public building

In most cases, the reduced insurance premiums on most commercial buildings will more than offset any costs associated with providing a Monitored Fire Alarm system

Properly classifying the use and occupancy of a building is an important task that sets the tone for how a structure is designed as associated with its risk level. When selecting the correct occupancy classification the buildings components and features are designed as such to ensure a reasonable level of protection is provided to the building and its occupants.
