Your fire alarm gets tested once a year at minimum. In Calabasas, the people who check that it was are close by: the Los Angeles County Fire Department's Fire Prevention Division runs a Calabasas office at 26600 Agoura Road, Suite 110, phone (818) 880-0341, that handles both business inspections and plan check. We install, repair and test commercial fire alarm systems for Calabasas buildings.
Fire alarm testing: what the yearly visit covers
NFPA 72 sets the floor. Every system is inspected and tested at least annually, and some devices need checks more often.
On a typical visit, a technician starts at the control panel, checks its power and backup batteries, then works through the building setting off smoke detectors, heat detectors and pull stations to confirm each one reports to the panel. Then come the horns and strobes. Every one should sound or flash. If the system reports to a monitoring company, that signal gets tested too.
Failed devices are flagged. You hear what each one needs before we fix anything.
Adding devices or replacing a panel
A beeping panel or a detector that keeps going off is a repair job, and our fire alarm repair page for Calabasas covers that. Bigger changes are different.
Before you add devices or swap an old panel, ask the Calabasas Fire Prevention office whether the change needs plan check, since that office reviews plans as well as inspecting businesses. Ask about the code edition too. The city's building code page lists the 2025 California Fire Code as amended by the Los Angeles County fire code. Confirm the current edition with Fire Prevention before design starts.
Who may do the work
California work for 1 Pro Fire is done by Hedrick Fire Protection. Hedrick holds C-10 (electrical) and C-16 (fire protection) contractor licenses, and the California State Fire Marshal licenses it under Title 19 for portable extinguisher service and for inspection, testing and maintenance of water-based systems such as sprinklers. Alarm wiring is electrical work. If the same building needs fire sprinkler service or fire extinguisher service, one contractor can handle all of it.
