Understanding fire alarm inspection
A fire alarm inspection is a documented, code-required examination of your fire alarm system performed by a licensed technician to verify that every initiating device, notification appliance, control panel, and power supply is operating correctly and within NFPA 72 requirements.
Inspections are not the same as repairs. We test and document — we do not sell, install, or repair alarm systems. If our inspection reveals deficiencies, we provide a clear report so your licensed contractor can correct them.
NFPA 72 is the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, published by the National Fire Protection Association. It defines the testing intervals, methods, and documentation required for commercial fire alarm systems in Oklahoma and nationwide.

Inspection frequency
NFPA 72 requires visual inspections of most fire alarm components on a quarterly or semi-annual basis, with full functional testing of all devices annually. Some components, like control panel displays and batteries, are tested quarterly. Oklahoma City and the Oklahoma State Fire Marshal adopt NFPA 72 by reference, so annual fire alarm testing is required for most commercial occupancies.
