Commercial businesses require a fire alarm that is different from a residential fire alarm. Commercial fire alarms are required to have more bells and whistles than residences. They are also interconnected so that if one goes off, they all do. This ensures that the building is evacuated as quickly as possible in the event of a fire. Commercial fire alarms also have to be monitored by a third party, typically a security company. This is because if the alarm goes off, it could be due to a fire or it could be due to a break-in attempt. Either way, the security company will dispatch the appropriate authorities.
Security Alarms
Commercial businesses require a security system to protect the property from intrusion and fire. The system should be designed to meet the needs of the specific business, including the type of business, the number of employees, and the hours of operation. The system should also be designed to meet the building code requirements for the specific jurisdiction. The installation of the security system should be performed by a qualified installer who is familiar with the code requirements. The system should be tested regularly to ensure that it is functioning properly.
Advanced Fire Protection Services Ltd. provides security services including ULC certified DSC system installations for commercial and residential properties. Our ULC certified monitoring station is based in Edmonton and monitors customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We also provide ULC certified fire alarm panel communicator installations.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS FAQ
- A fire alarm system is an active fire protection system that has control of your building’s fire alarm modules. Fire alarm systems are normally composed of smoke detectors and heat sensors, notification systems (like bells or sirens), and fire suppression systems like sprinklers or extinguishers. Some fire alarm systems also use additional warnings such as text notifications or voice messages.
- Most contemporary fire alarm systems use automatic functions to detect events that may indicate a fire, such as smoke, heat, or carbon monoxide. The alarm system then sends a signal from the sensor to the fire alarm panel.
- The alarm panel then activated the necessary components, such as your fire sprinklers, flashers, sirens, or makes a call to notify the local fire department.
- It is important to make sure your fire alarm system is maintained and inspected on a regular basis (we can help)!
There are many different options when it comes to fire alarm systems, as well as multiple government regulations to be aware of, such as the Alberta Fire Codes and Standards. To understand your business needs, be sure to consult with an expert.
The cost of fire alarm systems depends on a variety of factors, including your business size and needs, your chosen equipment and plan, and installation requirements. At Advanced Fire Protection, we deliver custom plans that fit each of our customers. You can reach out for a free quote anytime.
There could be several reasons for your fire alarm system or smoke detectors to malfunction. Often it can simply be one of the following reasons:
- Smoke or steam from cooking food
- High humidity or water leaks
- Low or dead batteries
- Dust or debris collected on sensors
- Chemical residue build up
- Organic material (like bugs!)
- Most of these issues can be quickly taken care of on your own, but if the issues persist, there may be a deeper issue to solve. If that happens, please give us a call.
Your fire alarm systems must be maintained in operable condition at all times, and should be tested annually by a qualified and certified company. Proper signage should also be posted above or within one meter of the fire alarm panel. Your reports must also be kept for a minimum of two years. If you need to get up to date, please contact us.
Although the short answer is YES, building codes and fire codes help set the minimum requirements for safety, including your fire alarm system requirements, number of fire sprinklers, etc. To understand your businesses needs, you should always consult with an expert.
