Regular Inspection and Maintenance of your Fire
Protection Systems is Crucial

Requirements

• When you are responsible for a multi occupant
  residential or commercial building, you are
  responsible for not only that structure but also
  all the lives of those who live in and use that
  building. Newly constructed commercial and
  residential buildings are equipped with the most
  up to date fire and safety requirements outlined
  in local and provincial bylaws, however older
  buildings, particularly those built prior to
  1970, should have their fire systems inspected
  and updated, as required by someone experienced
  with fire protection services. 

Fire system requirements for residential or
commercial buildings can vary significantly based
on size and use. Most buildings will have minimum
requirements for fire alarms, sprinklers,
emergency lighting, and number of fire
extinguishers. A Professionals in fire protection
services in Burnaby will know and understand the
specific requirements for your type and size of
building, leaving you assured that you are
meeting all legal and safety constraints.

Testing
Regular testing of your current system is very
important to ensure proper function. Experts
recommend testing your system at least every 6
months, although some instances many require that
systems are tested every quarter and others may
allow for annual testing. 
Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your fire protection
system is crucial to its continued function. The
life expectancy of many components of your fire
system is 20 years, other than fire
extinguishers, which need to be replaced every 6
years. To get the most out of your fire system,
it is important to regularly clean and inspect
all components for the system, including the
alarm, lighting, sprinklers, and extinguishers. 
Professionals in fire protection services in
Burnaby have experience in performing these types
of inspections and can advise you as needed,
should any action be required to bring your
system back to proper working order.

Updating
The average life expectancy on your fire system
is 20 years, some may require updating sooner,
and in some cases with proper regular
maintenance, some may last a little longer.
Having an up to date system is important not only
for the safety of building occupants, but may
also be required by law. A company experienced in
fire protection services in Burnaby will be
familiar with the specific laws and bylaws
covering your type of building, its number of
occupants, and its use, and will be able to
advise you on any system updates required.
Enough cannot be said about the importance of
regularly inspecting and maintaining your fire
protection system and updating when required. Not
only is the safety of the building occupants at
risk, but should the unexpected occur and you are
found to have had inadequate or malfunctioning
fire systems, you could be liable for damages.
Ensure everyones health and safety by having
your building regularly inspected by a fire
protection service in Burnaby.
