Ensuring Fire Alarm System Compliance
Fire prevention inspectors are responsible for enforcing codes across multiple disciplines, including fire alarm systems, fire sprinklers, portable fire extinguishers, wet and dry chemical suppression systems, clean agent and inert gas systems, smoke control systems, exit pathways, and fire lane striping. Additional compliance requirements also apply to specialized facilities such as hospitals and schools.
Inspectors coming from firefighting backgrounds or specialized trades often need to rapidly build their knowledge of these codes and develop the practical skills required for effective enforcement. A particular need exists for comprehensive training on fire alarm inspections, covering the correct procedures, key
inspection points, and testing methodologies.
In this course, fire prevention inspectors learn how fire alarm components should work, how to verify proper operation, and common code issues that may cause an inspection to fail. Inspectors will come away with a repeatable approach to use on every inspection.
This course includes hands-on demonstrations to reinforce key topics.
Upon completion, inspectors will be able to:
- Perform fire alarm inspections in a structured sequence
- Determine the ratings of and test fire/smoke dampers
- Correctly test duct detectors
- Understand when HVAC systems should shut down
- Verify strobe candela settings
- Ensure systems meet audibility requirements
- Identify and address common code violations
