Why Keep a Fire Alarm Log Book?

A clear fire alarm log book helps show that routine tests, false alarms, faults, maintenance visits and actions are being recorded. It also helps engineers understand the history of a system when investigating repeat problems.

For building managers and responsible persons, a log book is one of the simplest ways to keep fire alarm records organised. For engineers, it can save a lot of detective work when a panel has been “doing something weird for months”. Which is a very technical phrase, obviously.
