Code-Required Fire Alarm Inspections—Made Simple
The Washington State Fire Code (based on the IFC) and NFPA 72 require regular fire alarm inspections for both commercial and multi-unit residential buildings. Local authorities like the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority enforce these inspections with annual or semiannual verification requirements.
Our team stays ahead of local code changes and offers full-service inspections that include:
-
Functional testing of all alarm components
-
Annual and semiannual alarm system evaluations
-
Documentation for AHJs and insurers
-
Troubleshooting and corrective recommendations
From high-rises to healthcare clinics, we’ve helped hundreds of facilities stay code-compliant and life-safety ready.

Remote annunciators and communicators

We run functional tests to confirm response times, audibility levels, and integration with other fire protection systems.
