Fire alarm testing

Why is this 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.

How will this impact building occupants?

IPF will come through the building and test all the fire alarm devices throughout the facility. Please be aware they may need to access offices, closets, and laboratories during these inspections. Building evacuation will not be required.
