Aside from the danger to life safety when you fail to maintain your fire alarm system, there’s also the issue of fines, as when you fail to prevent false and unwanted alarms.

“The fallout from a malfunctioning alarm system extends well beyond the facility it is supposed to guard and protect. Evidence of this fact is everywhere you go as every community of any size has or is routinely creating false alarm fines, some of them substantial for repeat offenders,” says John Larkin, Senior Partner, ESC of Greater Ohio. “Burglar or fire alarm makes no matter, false alarms due to malfunctions are not tolerated by local communities any longer.”
The fact is, as the owner or maintenance superintendent of your building(s), the responsibility to see that these fire alarms are are in working order falls on you. Yes, ESC, for instance, will do all we can to remind you when it’s time to do one, but you must make the effort to engage with a reputable fire alarm company such as Electronic Systems Consultants.
