There are two main types of addressable fire alarm systems: commercial businesses require a fire alarm system that is different from a conventional fire alarm system. Commercial fire alarms are required to have more bells and whistles than residences, including heat sensors, smoke detectors and more. They are also interconnected so that in the event of a possible fire, all the devices will go off, notifying emergency services. This ensures public safety, initiating devices and evacuating the building as quickly as possible during a fire.
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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are there specific requirements for fire alarm and suppression systems in the Alberta Fire Code?
Yes, the Alberta Fire Code outlines specific requirements for fire alarm systems and fire suppression systems based on the type of occupancy and the size and layout of the building. These systems are designed to detect fires early and facilitate their suppression or evacuation procedures.
What are the key fire safety requirements outlined in the Alberta Fire Code?
What are the guidelines for fire safety in residential care facilities in Alberta, Canada?
Fire safety in residential care facilities in Alberta is of utmost importance. These facilities must have fire detection and suppression systems, as well as clear evacuation plans. Staff training is vital to assist residents during emergencies. Regulations outlined in the Alberta Building Code and Alberta Fire Code set standards for construction, fire alarm systems, and evacuation procedures to ensure the safety of vulnerable residents.
How often should fire alarm systems be inspected and tested?
Fire alarm systems are critical components of early fire detection and notification. Regular inspections and testing are essential to ensure their reliability and functionality. Fire codes typically specify the frequency of inspections and tests based on the type of system and occupancy classification. In many cases, fire alarm systems should be inspected and tested on a semi-annual basis. These inspections encompass a comprehensive review of all system components, including control panels, detectors, notification appliances, wiring, and backup power sources. Testing procedures involve activating various elements of the system to confirm their proper operation and coordination. Test results should be documented, and any deficiencies or malfunctions must be promptly addressed and rectified to maintain the system’s effectiveness in providing timely fire alerts and ensuring occupant safety.
What are some common causes of false alarms in fire alarm systems?
False alarms in fire alarm systems can be disruptive, costly, and potentially dangerous, as they can lead to complacency when real emergencies occur. Several common causes of false alarms include equipment malfunctions, environmental factors, and human error. Equipment malfunctions may result from faulty detectors, damaged wiring, or outdated system components. Environmental factors like dust, steam, cooking fumes, or even insects can trigger alarms when they interfere with smoke detectors. Human error, such as accidental activation of manual pull stations or inadequate training of system users, can also contribute to false alarms. Routine system maintenance, testing, and user education are crucial for minimizing false alarms and ensuring the reliability of fire alarm systems.
Can fire alarm monitoring systems provide notifications to building occupants?
Yes, fire alarm monitoring systems can include devices such as public address systems or emergency text alerts to notify building occupants of the fire incident and provide evacuation instructions.
