John, I have a couple of boxes of old, beat up, mostly never any good, smoke 
and fire detectors.  It would be great to get them in the hands of somebody who 
wanted them. Any ideas?

The automatic fire alarm association (afaa) and the electronic security

right at the IBC 907 Fire Alarm Systems, pay particular attention to 907.2 When

I would guess some of you are pretty familiar with fire alarm code as well as 
sprinkler code. Our fire alarm division falls under my purview and I really 
don’t know the first thing about them. They certainly don’t seem to follow the 
same reasoning we use when determining how we are going to protect a building 
with sprinklers. The client base isn’t the same, the way they bid and sell them 
isn’t the same. They seem to have less regard for what’s actually required and 
more interest in what the bid plans show.



Are they like sprinklers insofar as … this book says fire alarm yes or no … 
this book tells you what’s required … this book tells you how to design them… 
etc ?



Can anyone recommend where or how I can get some basic knowledge of how alarms 
should be done? Probably starting with 101, 72 and … 70? Design class or code 
class? Does anyone have a fire alarm design class like AFSA and NFSA do for 
sprinklers?
