SUBJECT: CFA Fire Alarm Audible Testing, 1/22-2/6, 6AM-7AM

 

As part of the ongoing CFA Fire Alarm Replacement Project, intermittent fire alarm testing will take place daily over the next two weeks between 6:00 AM and 7:00 AM. Testing will involve audible and visual alarms in select areas of the building each day. This is not a full-building test.

 

During testing, strobe lights and horn/speaker devices will activate. No evacuation is required during these scheduled tests. Please note: at all other times, occupants should treat any sounding fire alarm as real and evacuate the building immediately.

 

The following dates are anticipated:

  • January 22–23: 4th Floor
  • January 26–27: 3rd Floor
  • January 28–29: 2nd Floor
  • January 30–February 2: Mezzanine
  • February 3–6: 1st Floor and A Level
