The Importance of Maintaining Fire Alarms



Did you know that, according to the National Fire Protection Association, having a working fire alarm cuts people's chances of dying in a fire in half? That is probably the biggest reason having working fire alarms in Twin Cities businesses is so important. Making sure your fire alarms are properly maintained is a great way to ensure everyone stays safe if the worst ever happens. Brothers Fire Protection can handle maintaining the fire alarms at your company. 

We make sure your fire alarms are in good working order by looking at a few different things:

·         Are the alarm sensors properly calibrated? We will test them when we come to your business for maintenance checks.

·         Are the annunciators working? We will check those and will also simulate inputs.

·         We will set the fire alarms’ sensitivity. This requires in-depth knowledge of your fire alarm system and staying up-to-date on current fire detection theory.

·         The fire alarms’ batteries will be check for corrosion and to make sure they did not expire. We also make sure they contain the proper load.

·         All parts of the fire alarm system will be visually inspected to make sure nothing is damaged.

We recommend your fire alarms get inspected at least once a year or quarterly, which is what most manufacturers, insurance companies and fire marshals recommend. So get the peace of mind that comes with an annual inspection by trusting Brothers Fire Protection to take care of this for you. Our team is certified and qualified to take care of these inspections. We know you want your employees, customers and assets to be as safe as possible! And making sure your fire alarms are working is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure everyone’s safety.
