A building's Fire Alarm and/or Emergency Voice Communication System is the electrical component of the site's Life Safety Equipment. These systems are intended to detect fire and combustion products in an emergency situation ad to either automatically or manually alert building occupants to initiate evacuation and to notify the Fire Department that a fire situation either exists or potentially may exist within the building. In general terms, these systems consist of Detection Devices such as Smoke Detectors, Heat Detectors and Pull Stations, plus Audible Alarm Devices such as Bells, Horns or Speakers in the case of Voice Communication Systems. The Ontario Fire Code mandates that regular Annual Inspection, Repair and Maintenance on the Fire Alarm & Emergency Voice Communication Systems be completed by suitably qualified firms and technicians. Additionally, we also offer Installation of new Fire Alarm & EVC Systems, plus Retrofit and Upgrading of existing obsolete equipment.

As required under the Ontario Fire Code, the Fire Alarm Division of Onyx-Fire Protection is staffed with Canadian Fire Alarm Association (C.F.A.A.) Certified Technicians. Our internal training and education program ensures that our field staff are constantly retrained and made aware of any changes or additions to the codes that affect this division. The Fire Alarm Division at Onyx-Fire complete Annual Inspection & Testing, as well as remedial repair work to correct deficiencies in existing sprinkler systems, plus 24/7 Emergency Service Calls.
