Faulty fire alarms, false alarms, and malfunctioning fire alarms are one of the most frustrating issues with fire alarm systems that many fire departments are encountering on a widespread basis. They can occur for various reasons, such as dust, insects, cooking, or cigarette smoke, etc. If there are issues are prevalent within your structure, please make corrective action measures to mitigate these issues.
