Annual Fire Alarm Inspections, Exit & Emergency Light Testing
As required by NFPA 72, Chapter 10, and the Ohio Fire Code, Ashton provides the highest quality services when it comes to fire alarm inspections.
The most current techniques and equipment are utilized to meet the rigorous requirements of today's complex fire, voice evacuation, and specialized detection systems.
We take the time to thoroughly test and inspect all of your systems' components for proper operation. Our process significantly reduces unwanted false alarms by keeping all of your detection devices ready to respond at the required sensitivity level.
Accurate records are produced upon completion of each inspection. We then provide you with detailed documentation as outlined by the National Fire Protection Association and your local authority having jurisdiction. These reports give details of fire alarm system status and alert the customer to any problem areas that may require maintenance or replacement.
