The Benefits of Timely Fire Alarm Inspections

Preparation is important, especially when it comes to the safety of a business’s employees or a home’s residents. Will you be ready if a fire breaks out at your home or business? A properly functioning fire alarm system not only provides protection for the health and safety of inhabitants, it also serves to protect your possessions and important assets.

Just like you periodically have your car or truck inspected to identify and replace worn parts, fluid shortages, inoperable components and other problems, it is important to have your fire alarm inspected regularly, as recommended by the BC Fire Code. Having fire alarms inspected and reviewing fire alarm procedures once a year will not only extend the life of equipment by identifying potential problems before they interfere with safety, it has also been shown to reduce the number of false alarms due to technical problems and operator error.

When Disaster Strikes, Time is of the Essence

Modern fire alarm systems are remarkably responsive and able to accomplish much more in a shorter period of time than in the past. For example, once a fire is detected the system will automatically alert emergency agencies to the problem, bringing help without delay. The system will tell emergency responders exactly where the fire is located, so they can begin fighting it more quickly, lessening the likelihood of more extensive damage or injury. While the system is alerting emergency personnel to the existence of a fire, residents can concentrate on evacuation.

Cost Factors

Today’s fire alarm systems are incredibly reliable and efficient. When you factor in the importance of what they do to your home or livelihood, not to mention the security and peace of mind they provide, they are a bargain. In order to keep your fire alarm system operating as it should, it is important to have your system routinely inspected and maintained by an experience professional.
