Since the new smoke and fire system was installed we have not had any false alarms. Also, gaps in protection has been eliminated by increasing our smoke and fire sensor count from 4 to 9 sensors. The new system conforms to local fire code and has a status display at the front door so the fire department can quickly identify the location of the smoke or fire. Our collection has now seen a significant improvement in protection from smoke or fire.
