What Is Fire Alarm System Documentation?

Documenting the performance of the fire alarm system and the workings of each component is essential for reviewing them to understand the effectiveness of the fire alarm system and all the devices attached to it. Without adequate documentation of your fire alarm system inspections, assessing the system and making improvements later can be difficult. This documentation marks all system alerts, malfunctions, downtime, system and wiring layout, as well as any necessary fire department approvals.
