Fire Alarm Defect Injury Lawyer – Failure to Work

Fire Alarm Defects Cause Serious Personal Injuries for People in the Structure

Fire alarms are placed in all buildings and structures in our country and in other regions, to alert residents and occupants to a building or residence of the presence of a fire. An active fire will set off a fire alarm. Most new fire alarms today will also have adjacent and attached functions for smoke detection. This is particularly important, because a fire will often smolder for hours before its “catches” to become a roaring dangerous blaze.

Fire Alarm Systems Need to Be Properly Installed

A fire alarm system needs to be properly installed. This is important, and the person who owns, manages or otherwise is responsible for a building, structure or residence needs to constantly check the system to ensure that it is working properly. A fire alarm needs to work properly at all times, and that is why it is put into place.

If a building has structural repairs, then the modifications to the structure of the building are not meant to affect the fire alarm. If the repairs to a building or residence cause a defect to form in a fire alarm, it is the owner or manager of the structure to ensure that the fire alarms work properly at all times.

Fire Alarms Need to Be Checked Regularly to Ensure Proper Working Function

Fire alarms serve an important function. It is a dangerous situation if the fire alarm set and installed in a building, structure or residence is defective in any way. If the fire alarm is defective, then it will not fulfill its job to warn people that a fire is brewing in a building.

Depending on the structure, a fire alarm has many jobs. Whether it is hard-wired or battery-operated, a fire alarm needs be tested, reviewed, and the tests of the systems needs to be performed regularly as well. The systems often attached and working in conjunction with a fire alarm can include:

• Duct detectors
• Manual fire alarm boxes
• Heat detectors
• Smoke detectors
• Kitchen hood extinguishing systems
• Furnace extinguishing systems
• Alarm interconnect switches
• Fire alarm components

Automatic Fire Department Notification May Be Null with Defective Fire Alarms

The feature of an automatic fire department notification can be knocked out if there is a defective fire alarm. This means that the fire alarm will not properly alert the fire department and other emergency services and first responder personnel, in the event of an actual fire. It is important to routinely check a fire alarm to ensure that it is working properly, to avoid just this type of situation.

Burn Injuries Can Be Life-Threatening to Experience

There are many different types of burns that can be experienced when a defective fire alarm is not caught before a fire occurs. If you are caught in a fire because of a defective fire alarm, you may have been burned severely by the fire. Burn injuries are particularly painful, and take a long time to heal. They can even result in the amputation of limbs, depending on the severity of the burn injury. Burn injuries can be:

First-degree burns – red and painful to the top skin layers.

Second-degree burns – blisters to skin and first two layers of skin.

Third-degree burns – loss of skin layers burned, deep charred areas of the skin.

If you have been burned and injured because of being hurt in a fire when a fire alarm was defective in the structure, building or residence, you need to call the Normandie Law Firm.
