Frequently Asked Questions — Fire Alarm and Life Safety Systems
Answers to the most common questions about our fire alarm and life safety systems in the Philippines. Have a question not covered here? Our team is happy to help.
What does a fire alarm and life safety system include?
A complete system typically includes a fire alarm control panel (FACP), smoke and heat detectors, manual pull stations, horn/strobe notification devices, and interfaces to sprinkler flow switches, elevator recall, and voice evacuation systems, all designed to detect fire early and alert occupants.
Will our fire alarm system comply with the Philippine Fire Code?
Yes, our designs follow the requirements of the Revised Fire Code of the Philippines (RA 9514) and applicable Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) guidelines. As a PCAB-accredited contractor, we prepare systems intended to support your Fire Safety Inspection Certificate (FSIC) application, though final approval rests with the BFP.
Can fire alarm be integrated with PA/voice evacuation and elevator systems?
Yes, integrating fire alarm with a PA BGM/voice evacuation system enables automated, zone-specific evacuation announcements upon alarm activation, while integration with elevators can trigger automatic elevator recall to the ground floor during a fire event.
Do you handle both new installations and upgrades to existing systems?
Yes, we install new fire alarm systems for ground-up construction as well as upgrade, replace, or expand existing fire alarm panels and devices in older buildings to meet current code requirements or added floor area.
How often should a fire alarm system be tested and maintained?
Fire alarm systems require regular functional testing and inspection — typically covering detectors, pull stations, notification devices, and battery backup — to remain reliable and compliant. We offer scheduled Preventive Maintenance Service (PMS) contracts to manage this on your behalf.
What brands of fire alarm equipment do you carry?
We supply fire alarm panels and devices from reputable manufacturers with proper local warranties and technical support; our engineering team will recommend the appropriate brand and system architecture based on your building's size, occupancy, and compliance requirements.
