Fire Alarm Inspection & Testing in Northern California
Even a minute of delay due to a faulty fire alarm can cause extensive loss of human lives and property.
Fire alarm system inspections and testing that comply with National Fire Protection Association Standards are essential to the safety of your Bay area building, its occupants, and your business assets.
Current law requires your business to have a qualified fire protection company inspect and test your commercial fire alarm system quarterly, semiannually, and/or annually. How often you must inspect and test your fire alarm system depends on the type of equipment installed, as well as local and state regulations. NFPA standards, however, are universal and apply to every property.
Foothill Fire Protection provides fire alarm inspections and fire alarm testing services to businesses throughout the greater Bay area. We help keep occupants, employees, customers, and the buildings themselves safe from fire-related damage and injuries. We also offer fire alarm monitoring services.

The Fire Alarm Inspection & Testing Process
The NFPA sets the minimum requirements for the testing, inspection, and maintenance of commercial fire alarm systems.

- All audible and visual devices, including bells
- Control panel functions
- Door holders
- Duct detectors
- Elevator recall
- Ground fault detection circuitry
- Heat detectors
- Manual pull stations
