The year 2000 Redmond Fire Department, Fire Alarm System Standard, is the result of a more than two-year process of discussions with and reviews by staff, consultants, representatives from other jurisdictions, and industry representatives. This new standard is projected to significantly reduce preventable alarms, time out of service on many alarm activations, increase the quality of alarm installations, and improve the plan review and inspection process.  For more on the 2000 Fire Alarm Standard, see a summary of the key points and review the documents and forms below.
