Portland, Oregon Electricians and Electrical Contractors
If you have a commercial building in the Portland, Oregon or Vancouver, WA area, you need fire alarms. These can’t just be a few sprinklers thrown up in the ceiling. Commercial buildings must adhere to fire regulations enforced by law.
Commercial fire regulations exist to maintain the safety and well-being of building tenants in case of a fire emergency.
Some of the rules include:
- A fire sprinkler must be located every 150 square feet of building space throughout the commercial building.
- Fire alarms must be located throughout the building and clearly marked with red paint.
- All fire alarms must be clearly visible and accessible.
- When a fire alarm is pulled the alarm must create an audible signal.
- Fully functional smoke detectors must be located in each room
Understanding the regulations and how to safely install a fire system takes a well-trained electrician. Amp Electric is highly trained and experience in Commercial Fire Alarm Systems.
