What is being done?

Testing of life-safety fire alarm systems. During the first hour of each test, technicians will test the speakers and strobes to ensure functionality. Technicians will then bypass the speakers and strobes in the facility to test all initiation devices on the fire alarm silently.

Testing is an annual requirement of the National Fire Protection Agency.
