Why Maintaining Fire Alarms is Crucial Fire alarms are your first line of defense in the event of a fire emergency. They alert occupants, allowing for swift evacuation and enabling firefighters to respond promptly. However, a faulty fire alarm system can pose significant risks: Code Violations : Non-functioning or improperly maintained fire alarm systems can result in code violations, leading to fines and penalties. Increased Fire Risk : A malfunctioning fire alarm may fail to detect a fire, delaying response times and exacerbating the situation. Expensive Firewatch : In some cases, a faulty fire alarm system may necessitate the implementation of a firewatch, a costly measure to ensure safety in the absence of a functioning alarm system.
