Fire alarm inspections and testing

Posting Date(s)
Troy Life & Fire Safety will continue conducting fire alarm inspections and testing in selected campus buildings throughout June, July, August, and September. As part of these inspections, there will be testing of fire alarm devices and notification systems.
 
For device testing, occupants may notice technicians working throughout the building, but no alarm notification is expected. During bell-ringing tests, there will be an audible notification stating, “This is a test,” at the beginning and the end of each testing period. Occupants are not required to evacuate during scheduled testing. The ringing of alarms is necessary to verify proper operation of the fire alarm system and to ensure notification devices function throughout the building.
Inspections and testing will take place at the following locations on the dates noted below:
 
  • Blanchard Hall, June 15
  • Steel Building, June 16
  • Robertson Library, June 17
  • Central Utility Building, June 18–19
  • Regis and Joan Duffy Research Centre (also known as NRC building), July 6
  • Dalton Hall, July 8
  • SDU Main Building, July 9
  • Memorial Hall, July 9
