Reliable Fire Alarm Systems Etobicoke for Your Facility

Etobicoke’s industrial building stock — much of it constructed between 1960 and 1985 along Kipling Avenue and Dixon Road — represents one of the highest concentrations of legacy fire alarm systems in the GTA. Many of these buildings still operate conventional zone-based panels with obsolete detection technology that cannot meet current CAN/ULC-S524 standards. Toronto Fire Services (Etobicoke Division) has been actively targeting older industrial properties in its annual inspection program, issuing upgrade orders for non-compliant systems. SESSI specializes in fire alarm modernization for Etobicoke’s aging industrial buildings — retrofitting addressable systems into existing structures with minimal disruption and clear upgrade pathways.
