Fire Alarm Systems, Fire Alarm Retrofitting

Magnum Fire Protection provides comprehensive services to many different types of systems. We will be your service provider who can install, repair and service all of your fire prevention needs.

Fire alarm systems:

• Detect a potential cause, fire or trouble in a facility.
• Notify its occupants by sounding of the alarm.

Fire alarm systems that are connected to monitoring stations dispatch the fire brigade swiftly to a facility with an active alarm.

A fire alarm retrofit upgrades an existing fire alarm by adding modern components that did not exist at the time that a system was initially manufactured or installed. This option may be more economical than changing a whole fire alarm system. A professional evaluation by Magnum Fire Protection can enlighten you.

Some of the systems installed and serviced by Magnum Fire Protection:

• Notifier
• Mircom
• Edwards
• Mirtone
• Simplex
• Siemens Cerberus
• Honeywell

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Systems

We install, test and calibrate all CO sensing systems in garages and any closed public parking spaces.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is the most common cause of poisoning death because it is colourless and odorless. Proper installation of CO sensing systems can prevent adverse impact to health and ultimately prevent avoidable deaths.

Fire Hydrants

Magnum Fire Protection technicians are skilled to service all types of fire hydrants. We install, repair, relocate, conduct flow testing, check colour coding, paint and install traffic barriers and bollards.

We conduct annual maintenance in accordance with the Ontario Fire Code, NFPA and Insurance Bureau of Canada.

Proper installation of fire hydrants can reduce unexpected cost and liability situations.

Sprinkler Systems

Magnum Fire Protection has trained and certified sprinkler fitters. We have certified technicians to handle all your water based fire prevention system needs.

Our experienced technicians are equipped with the skill and knowledge to work on all systems, old and new.  We change piping designs, relocate sprinklers and convert systems to meet a new design as per applicable Code.

Wet Systems: A system with piped water distribution. It is connected by heat sensors that is activated in case of fire. A properly functioning system will suppress an active fire and minimize water damages.

Dry Systems: Operate on a similar premise as a wet system whereby automatic sprinkler heads hold close the system with a heat-sensitive device. With a dry system, water is not held within the piping system.  Dry systems are commonly used in areas where ambient temperatures present a risk of freezing water in a wet system. In a dry system, the pipes are filled with pressurized air and are sealed in by the sprinkler heads. In the event of a fire, the sprinkler head activates and the air pressure is lost when opening a valve to accelerate water flow to the affected area to spray out on the flames and activate the alarm.

Pre-action Systems: Are dry systems, but are specially designed for areas where accidental activation is undesirable due to a potential for loss of sensitive or expensive product or equipment within the sprinkler coverage area. This system is complex and more costly to install and maintain, but it prevents accidental discharge of water which can cause loss of valuable products.

Retrofit: Is when a layout of a space is changed the sprinkler system should be designed to meet the new changes, as per the applicable Codes. This change is called the retro fitting of sprinkler systems. This option opposed to changing the whole system enables our customers to save on costs. We strongly stand by all our recommendations and suggested rectification of deficiencies.

Fire pumps: Supply pressurized water to the sprinkler systems and are most commonly powered by electricity. The optimum pressure should be maintained to prevent sprinklers heads from being activated.

Fire Extinguishers

We install, service and provide maintenance of fire extinguishers. We have an in-house extinguisher service facility that enables us to provide efficient and reliable products.  We have trained fire extinguisher experts who are able to recommend and service any type of extinguisher.

Extinguishers are the first mode of defence in a small fire, but if the flames are high and spreading then call 911.

We offer options for every application, including Class A, B, C, D and K fires occurring in areas with Low, Moderate and High Hazard classification.

Exit and Emergency Lighting services and maintenance

Magnum Fire ensures that all the exit and emergency signs are in proper working conditions to function in any emergency.

Your emergency lighting equipment is designed to provide illumination during power outages. The emergency lights and signs will guide you to the nearest exit.

Emergency lighting should be installed as per the applicable code requirements to uphold the safety of the occupants of any building. Proper installation will prevent unnecessary costs down the line.

The emergency lighting system comprises of batteries, bulbs, remote heads, exit signs and unit/combo units etc.

Have a professional check the systems during the monthly inspections to ensure the functionality.

Smoke Alarms

Our technicians have the skilled experience to install, test and recommend changes to a space or location containing any type of smoke alarm.

Smoke alarms are self-contained devices that are activated by smoke and sends out an audible and sometimes visual signal to alert the residents. Ensure that your smoke alarms are tested on a monthly basis and replaced after 10 years as per manufacturer’s requirements. Replace batteries, as needed, and at least twice a year when the clock time is changed.

Fire Safety Plans

A fire safety plan is a complex document required by law which describes the procedures for preparedness and response to fire emergencies. A well-written plan protects building occupants and business stakeholders by increasing safety and reducing liability.

Fire safety plans are required, under the fire code, based on building use or occupancy types. Please refer to the Ontario Fire Code, Section 2.8.1.
