SK FIRE DEPARTMENTS NOW ENFORCE NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR FIRE ALARM MONITORING

IF YOU HAVE A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM OR FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEM AT YOUR BUILDING - YOU WILL BE IMPACTED.




FIRE ALARM MONITORING 101

  • Fire alarm systems are designed to detect a fire in your building and alert the occupants to evacuate.
  • Fire sprinkler systems are similar and have the added ability to suppress a fire.
  • Neither has the ability to alert the Fire Department of a fire at your building - unless you add a fire monitoring system and 24/7 ULC Monitoring service plan with Fire Alarm, Fire Trouble and Fire Supervisory detection.
  • A Reed Security ULC Certified technician can install a fire alarm monitoring transmitter that meets the CAN/ULC-S561-13 national standard.





WHAT IS 
CAN/ULC-S561-13?

  • It's the fire monitoring standard written by the Underwriters' Laboratories of Canada (ULC).
  • It's the standard that is referenced in Building Codes and Fire Codes.
  • It provides maximum protection and safety.
  • It governs how fire monitoring equipment is installed, how it communicates and how its maintained.
  • It governs how 24/7 ULC Monitoring Stations are built and how they receive signals from your building.


WHY DO YOU NEED CAN/ULC-S561-13?

  • Fire Departments across Saskatchewan, including the Saskatoon Fire Department, are now enforcing the CAN/ULC-S561-13 national standard for fire alarm monitoring.
  • Building Inspectors and Fire Inspectors are performing random inspections and will request to see your ULC Certificate.
  • Most properties WILL NOT have a ULC Certificate (as the standard was not enforced in Saskatchewan until recently).
  • If you cannot produce a ULC Certificate there will be a deficiency placed against your building and you will be provided some time to get obtain one.
  • Failure to produce a ULC Certificate can result in large fines and delayed building occupancy.
  • The ULC Certificate is the only physical proof that your site meets the ULC Standard for fire alarm monitoring.
  • If your security alarm provider CANNOT issue a ULC Certificate they are not providing ULC-level monitoring.
  • Reed Security is ULC Certified for both installation and monitoring; Reed Security can issue a ULC Certificate.
  • CONTACT US today for your no obligation fire monitoring evaluation.



WHAT TYPES OF BUILDINGS WILL BE IMPACTED?

  • Most buildings with fire alarm systems or fire sprinkler systems.
  • Apartment Buildings
  • Condominium Buildings
  • High Rise Buildings
  • Office Buildings
  • Commercial Buildings
  • Industrial Buildings
  • Educational Buildings, Schools
  • Public Buildings - Arenas, Stadiums, Performance Venues, Movie Theaters
  • Hospitals, Care Homes
  • Prisons, Jails

REED SECURITY SAVES THE DAY WITH FIRE PROTECTION

 

 

FIRE!


The Problem:
 
  • Imagine getting a phone call from the Fire Department that your Home or Business just burnt to the ground (if you are having problems imagining watch this video)
  • Fires are traumatic, disruptive, and cost a lot of money.
  • In addition to destroying property, possessions, and keepsakes - they Kill People, Pets, and Businesses.   
 
The Solution:
 
  • All Reed Security Burglar Alarm systems can be turned into Fire Protection Systems by adding monitored smoke sensors and heat sensors.
  • Smoke Sensors cost anywhere from *$100 to $150 each.
  • Your existing smoke sensors make noise to alert your family/co-workers, but they can't do anything when you are away.
  • Reed Security monitored smoke sensors are connected to our 24/7 Monitoring Stations. When we get an alarm we immediately dispatch the Fire Department and notify your key-holders.
  • Losses to Fire are reduced or avoided all together.
  • Bonus: Your Insurance Company may provide additional discounts when you have Reed Security fire protection. Typical discounts are 10% to 25%.  
 
The Testimonial:

"I often worried about a fire causing damage to our building and decided to install monitored smoke detectors. I'm So Glad We Did - Reed Security and the Saskatoon Fire Department recently saved the day."
