§ 8.13.030. RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIRE ALARM ACTIVATION - MISCELLANEOUS FIRE ALARMS AND CORRECTIVE ACTION.

A. The responsibility for a fire alarm activation shall be that of the owner of the premises in which the fire alarm system is installed. A response to an alarm activation shall result when any officer or member of the fire department shall be dispatched to the premises where the alarm has been activated or learns of the activation of the alarm system(s), by any means whatsoever, and responds thereto by traveling to that premises. After responding to an alarm activation, the enforcement official shall notify the reporting party or any person identified in the notice required pursuant to § 8.13.020 of the activation of the alarm system and such person shall contact the alarm company for necessary corrections. The officer or member of the Fire Department who responded to the premises shall serve the owner or authorized representative a “Fire Alarm Activation Report”.

B. In the event of a fire alarm activation deemed by the enforcement official to be the result of a miscellaneous fire alarm requiring service or repairs, the owner will be served a “Fire Alarm Activation Report” by an officer or member of the Fire Department indicating that the activation was deemed to be the result of a miscellaneous false alarm and requiring the owner to make necessary repairs.
