Fire Alarm Systems

Every year fire departments in the United States respond to approximately 3,520 structure fires in motels and hotels. While they make up a small percent of overall structure fires in the nation, that’s still a significant number and costs millions of dollars in property damage. So, hotel and motel fire alarms and maintenance are critical because of the large numbers of people staying on these properties.

Choosing a security integrator is an important process because you aren’t just purchasing a fire alarm system; there is an ongoing relationship with that company. You’re putting the lives of the people on your campus or in your business in someone else’s hands. So, what can you expect after you purchase a fire alarm system?

The alarm law defines a false alarm as any alarm signal that elicits emergency response and where there is no evidence of an actual emergency. While it seems like a small annoyance, false or nuisance alarms have a huge impact on both how we respond to alarms and how it burdens emergency services.

Each year, fire kills about 3,000 people a year in the United States. Forty percent of those deaths occurred in homes without working fire alarm systems.This startling fact highlights how these two things can be vital in saving your life in an emergency.

Routine maintenance ensures that all aspects of the fire alarm system work properly and therefore, guarantees the safety of your people and business. Here are a few ways that professional fire alarm system servicing by a certified security integrator protects your investment.
