[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3256990, member: 44288"] I kinda didn't call the FD because I wanted to actually see what their SOP was. I didn't feel there was any immediate danger but over an hour? You kiddin me? Sooooo, let's develop an actual SOP for this hotel business. I won't share it with them, I'd just like to see what you guys come up with. Since it is not a UL Listed Central Station monitored system because it is manned 24/7, they are saving a monthly monitoring fee. You would think a national chain would have a written SOP for a fire alarm. Like I said, the guy said they didn't have one. True or not I don't know but I will find out. The first thing I saw is this hotel did spend the money for a stand alone fire alarm not just a sprinkler waterflow and tamper monitored system. The smokes are of the verify type. This means they are smart smokes and do not go into alarm with just a puff of smoke. They self test after an initial alarm condition and verify the condition a second time of what the smoke detected in the first place. That or a second smoke seeing an alarm condition would turn on the alarm. With that feature in mind, it should be taken as gospel there is an actual physically dangerous condition and cause for the alarm. I have my ideas but I want to see what your next step would be?
