FREQUENLTY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Can fire alarm monitoring systems operate during power outages?

Yes. Most commercial fire alarm monitoring systems can continue operating during a power outage because they are designed with a secondary power source. When normal electrical power is interrupted, backup batteries can automatically supply power to the fire alarm system so it can continue detecting hazards and transmitting alarm signals.

In Edmonton, reliable backup power is especially important for commercial buildings, where power interruptions can occur because of severe weather, electrical problems, or utility outages. The backup power capacity required for a fire alarm system depends on the building, system design, and applicable fire and safety requirements.

However, backup batteries do not provide unlimited power. Batteries need to be properly maintained, tested, and replaced when necessary to help ensure the system remains operational during an emergency. Regular fire alarm inspections and testing can identify weak batteries, damaged components, communication issues, and other problems that could affect system performance.

Advanced Fire Protection provides commercial fire alarm services in Edmonton, including inspections, testing, maintenance, and monitoring solutions. Keeping your fire alarm and backup power systems properly maintained helps protect your building and ensures your fire safety equipment is ready when it is needed most.

Look for an expiration date on the fire extinguisher. There should be a tag attached to the fire extinguisher with the date that it was last serviced. If you can’t find an expiration date, call the manufacturer to ask when the fire extinguisher needs to be replaced. Additionally, there are other ways to test whether an extinguisher is still effective: weigh it, shake it and feel the pressure. If any of these tests fail, the extinguisher should be replaced. Fire extinguishers should be inspected regularly to ensure they are in working order.
