Fire Alarm in Paramount

Fire alarm service for Paramount buildings

A fire alarm has two jobs. It has to work, and you have to be able to prove it works when the fire inspector asks to see your latest test report.

We install, repair, maintain and test commercial fire alarm systems in Paramount. That covers the panel, the detectors and pull stations, the horns and strobes, and the wiring that ties them together.

Fire alarm testing in Paramount

NFPA 72 sets the testing schedule. A fire alarm system gets inspected and tested at least once a year, and some devices are due more often than that, depending on the device type.

On a test visit, the technician works through the system device by device:

• Detectors: set off one by one.
• Pull stations: pulled and reset.
• Horns and strobes: checked for sound and flash in each area.
• Panel and backup batteries: power and fault checks.

Anything that fails gets written up. Keep the test report with your building records, because that report is usually what an inspector asks for when they walk your building.
