A Fire Alarm System has a number of devices working together to detect and warn people through visual and audio appliances when smoke, fire, carbon monoxide or other emergencies are present. Due to their importance, the TCI Building Code requires that some commercial properties have them installed.

Even though Fire alarm systems are expected to help protect people, property, and assets, you can’t tell if they’re fully operational just by looking at them. As with any other system, electronics and other components can degrade over time and compromise the system’s operation. The good news is that with proper testing, inspection, and maintenance you can keep your fire alarm system at the optimum operating performance.
