How Fire Alarm Monitoring Works

Oakville Fire Department enforces ULC S561 monitoring compliance for all commercial fire alarm systems in Halton Region. Here are the mandatory compliance intervals for your Oakville property.

Detection — A smoke detector, heat detector, pull station, or sprinkler flow switch activates.
Signal Transmission — The fire alarm panel sends a digital or analog signal to the central monitoring station via a dedicated communication path.
Signal Verification — The central station verifies the signal type and cross-references your site information.
Dispatch — The station notifies Oakville Fire Department and your designated contacts immediately.
ULC Listing — Our monitoring stations carry ULC S561 listing, the Canadian standard for receiving centres.
Redundancy — Dual communication paths (cellular + IP or POTS) ensure signal delivery even if one path fails.
