Checklists are used from the plan review process through compliance inspections. This week you will develop a 2 page checklist that could be utilized to track the type of system, inspections, testing, and maintenance requirements of a fire detection system to be used by personnel assigned to the fire prevention bureau.

Address the following components of a fire alarm system on the first page of your checklist:

On the second page of your checklist write an explanation of each component and why it is important.

Chapter 3: Fire Alarm System Components and Functions

Surviving a structure fire is dependent upon the amount of time that passes between the start of a fire, a person’s realization there is a fire, and the associated evacuation time. Even under the best circumstances, a fire can quickly become very dangerous. Frequently, a person has very little time to evacuate. Installation of a fire alarm system provides for early notification in a fire emergency and is critical to an individual’s chance of survival.

Chapter 4: Types of Fire Alarm and Detection Systems

It is time to examine how all of these components come together to make a fire alarm system. The most basic fire alarm system has a control panel, initiating devices, and notification appliances that sound a local alarm. The most sophisticated has integrated detection systems, controls to operate other building systems, two-way communication, voice evacuation, and automatic capabilities to communicate the system’s status to on-site and off-site monitoring facilities. Simple or sophisticated, the type of fire alarm system depends on many factors established by the model codes. A discussion of the when and where to install requirements for a particular type of system and the referenced standards used to design and install manual fire alarm and automatic detection systems are the first topics discussed in this chapter. In the middle part, the discussion covers the different system types and system classifications.
