Fire Alarm Inspections in Tulsa: How to Stay Code-Compliant and Avoid Costly Fines
A working fire alarm system is your building’s first line of defense in an emergency, and in Tulsa, staying up to date with fire alarm inspections is both a legal requirement and a smart risk management move.
Whether you manage an office building, warehouse, school, or healthcare facility, Fidelis Fire provides reliable, NFPA-compliant alarm inspections to keep your business safe and your system ready to respond.
Why Fire Alarm Inspections Matter
Fire alarm systems are more than just sirens and strobes, they include control panels, smoke detectors, pull stations, and communication links to emergency responders. These systems must be tested and maintained regularly to ensure:
Immediate detection and notification during a fire
Compliance with NFPA 72 and Tulsa Fire Department regulations
Reduced liability and insurance premiums
Prevention of false alarms and system failures
What’s Included in a Fire Alarm Inspection?
At Fidelis Fire, a typical fire alarm inspection includes:
Testing all initiating devices (smoke detectors, heat sensors, pull stations)
Verifying functionality of notification appliances (horns, strobes, speakers)
Checking the fire alarm control panel and backup power
Ensuring clear signal transmission to central monitoring (if applicable)
Tagging and documenting system status with a compliance report
We use digital reports and can communicate directly with your AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) in Tulsa.
