Fire Alarm Systems
Megacity fire designs, installs, tests, inspects and services Silent Knight and Fire-Lite fire alarm systems. In addition, Megacity Fire inspects and services virtually all brands of fire alarm systems. The purpose of a fire alarm system is to detect a fire and provide warning to building occupants to evacuate the premises. Automatic devices, such as smoke and heat detectors, sense the fire and then activate audiovisual devices. These audio-visual devices, such as horns, speakers, and strobes, act to notify the occupants of a building about an emergency situation. Manual pull stations also activate the audio-visuals, but rely on a person to operate them. Fire alarm systems must be thoroughly inspected annually in accordance with NFPA 72.
Security Alarm Systems
 Megacity Fire installs security alarm systems. A security alarm system uses a combination of door and window sensors, glass breakage sensors, and interior motion sensors to detect unauthorized entry. With a built-in digital communicator, alarms can be immediately reported to a "Central Monitoring Station" which is staffed 24 hours a day, ready to report a burglary, fire or panic condition to the proper authorities.
Fire/Security Alarm Monitoring
 Megacity Fire provides fire and security alarm monitoring services to customers through EMERgency 24. When a fire or security alarm is activated on the premises, a signal is sent through the phone lines to EMERgency 24’s central station. The type of signal that is received at the central station determines the type of action that is taken. If the alarm is simply in trouble condition, building personnel are notified. However, if an alarm signal is received, the central station will immediately dispatch appropriate aid to the situation and notify designated personnel.
