Local Fire Code requires building owners to maintain and test the fire alarm monitoring systems every 12 months and every five years with no local fire department notification. Furthermore, testing must be performed by a certified fire alarm service technician to provide the system certification label.

Alpha Fire & Security offers a service program for periodic inspection, testing and maintenance, which conforms to:

• AHJ
• Specific manufacturer’s recommended maintenance and inspections
• Annual alarm system testing
• NFPA code requirements

Our fire alarm service technicians are certified and tested by the fire department, according to local fire department codes. When Alpha Fire & Security tests your system, the proper paperwork will be sent to the fire department making sure your fire alarm system remains in constant compliance with local fire alarm code.

The Life Safety Code or NFPA 101 is a standard that is the basis for most local fire codes and is updated on a three-year cycle. The standards come from the study and analysis of prominent fires that cause loss of life. Because of this ongoing research and analysis and new technologies the Life Safety standards are continually updated and apply to existing and new structures.
