From the Editor’s Desk

It is with profound sadness that I write about the passing of a dear friend of many people in our fire-safety industry. Mr. G. Richard Morris passed away on Thursday May 3rd, 2012. Our next issue, in August, will carry remembrances of Rich. If you have memories and/or have a photo that you feel others would like to see, please feel free to submit them for posting to our CFAA web-site.

The Journal constantly strives to provide you with original articles written by our own industry people – and written to be of both interest and importance to you. We prefer that our articles be of a technical nature, to be timely (certainly reflecting current codes and standards), and follow good engineering practice. As an example, this issue provides you with timely information relative to off-site monitoring. The article was written by Al Cavers of Underwriters’ Laboratories of Canada.

The Alberta Electrical League (AEL) EXPO 2012 was held in Grand Prairie, Alberta on March 22 at the Evergreen Park TEC Centre. The trade show had over 40 exhibitors, 5 seminars and several hundred participants. This was the first time CFAA Alberta Chapter has gone ‘on the road’ with their new CFAA Booth. Read about this important expo in detail. In the words of Daryll de Waal, Secretary of Alberta Chapter “Most of the people we talked to were not familiar with the Canadian Fire Alarm Association and were curious to know what we were all about. Many saw the need for more education, industry awareness, knowledge of best practices and newer technology. It was nice to be able to talk about what we had to offer and why we feel it is important.

Clarington Emergency & Fire Services held a four-hour training session for head custodians at Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board. The goal was to have all of the 26 custodians understand their responsibilities as they are outlined in the Fire Safety Plan for their schools, and to understand some of the Fire Code requirements behind them. Learn about the positive results of this educational effort.

We encourage you to support your local Chapter. Why not volunteer to become actively involved in their activities: consider joining with them to help make a difference in fire/life safety in your community. The Chapter people are deserving of your support.

Yours in Fire Safety;

Allen Hodgson, Editor-in-Chief

C’est avec une profonde tristesse que je vous écris au sujet du décès d’un ami estimé par de nombreuses personnes au sein de notre industrie de la sécurité des personnes. M. G. Richard Morris est décédé le jeudi 3 mai 2012. Notre prochain numéro du mois d’août sera en partie dédié à la mémoire de Rich. Si vous avez des souvenirs et (ou) des photos à partager, n’hésitez pas à nous les faire parvenir pour que nous puissions les afficher sur le site Web de l’ACAI.

La revue s’efforce constamment de vous fournir des articles originaux rédigés par les gens de l’industrie – soit des articles d’intérêt et importants pour vous. Nous préférons que nos articles soient de nature technique, d’actualité (du moins reflétant les codes et les normes en vigueur), et respectent les pratiques d’ingénierie exemplaires. À titre d’exemple, ce numéro vous offre des renseignements d’actualité concernant la surveillance hors site. L’article a été rédigé par Al Cavers des Laboratoires des Assureurs du Canada.

L’EXPO 2012 de l’Alberta Electrical League (AEL) a eu lieu à Grand Prairie, en Alberta, le 22 mars à l’Evergreen Park TEC Centre. Le salon professionnel a accueilli plus de 40 exposants, présenté 5 séminaires et reçu plusieurs centaines de participants. C’était la première fois que la section de l’Alberta « prenait la route » avec son nouveau kiosque de l’ACAI. Veuillez lire les détails importants de cette exposition. Selon Daryll de Waal, secrétaire de la section de l’Alberta, « La plupart des gens avec qui nous avons discuté ne connaissaient pas l’Association canadienne d’alarme incendie et se sont montrés curieux d’en savoir davantage sur notre association. De nombreuses personnes reconnaissaient le besoin d’offrir plus d’éducation, d’augmenter la sensibilisation envers l’industrie et les connaissances en matière de pratiques exemplaires et de nouvelles technologies. Ce fut plaisant d’être en mesure de discuter de ce que nous avions à offrir et pourquoi cela est important pour nous ».

Les services d’urgence et d’incendie de Clarington ont organisé une séance de formation de quatre heures pour les responsables d’établissements à la commission scolaire Kawartha Pine Ridge. L’objectif était de s’assurer que les 26 responsables comprenaient leurs responsabilités telles qu’elles sont décrites dans le plan de sécurité incendie de leurs écoles, ainsi que certaines des exigences sous-jacentes du Code de prévention des incendies. Apprenez-en davantage sur les retombées positives de cet effort de formation.

Nous vous encourageons à appuyer votre section locale. Pourquoi ne pas offrir de votre temps afin de vous investir activement dans leurs activités : joignez-vous à eux pour aider à faire bouger les choses au niveau de la sécurité incendie et de la sécurité des personnes au sein de votre communauté. Les personnes œuvrant au sein de la section méritent votre soutien.

En toute sécurité incendie,

Allen Hodgson, rédacteur en chef

By Alan CaversEngineering Manager - Underwriters Laboratories of Canada

In 2003, Underwriters Laboratories of Canada published CAN/ULC-S561, Installation and Services for Fire Signal Receiving Centres and

Systems, to address the needs of the regulatory community in Canada for constructing and operating fire-signal receiving centers as well as the interconnection and installation between fire-signal transmitting units and fire alarm system controls.

Many times in the past, these types of systems were installed by security system contractors and considered secondary to a fire alarm system connected to a security system. This often resulted in delayed or even missing fire alarm signals to the fire department. The concern of responding authorities was the impetus for establishing a standard method for dispatching the fire service when it receives fire alarm signals.

Here are 10 things you should know about CAN/ULC-S561 for fire alarm monitoring:

1. The Standard is referenced in the National Building Code and National Fire CodeThe National Building Code and the National Fire Code requires that a fire signal receiving center and a fire protective signaling system at a protected property meet the requirements of CAN/ ULC-S561, Installation and Services for Fire Signal Receiving Centres and Systems. In addition, the Standard for the installation of fire alarm systems –CAN/ULC-S524-06, Installation of Fire Alarm Systems – requires that the interconnection between a fire alarm system control unit and a fire signal receiving center comply with the same CAN/ULCS561.

These two Standards are not only separately referenced in the Code, but are integral to each other in that conformance to CAN/ULC-S561 is directly linked to CAN/ULC-S524.

2. The Standard covers more than signalingIn addition to signaling, the CAN/ULCS561 Standard requires that fire signal receiving centers conform to specific requirements such as ratings of fire separations, exiting, and other construction and safety requirements as well as operating procedures, standby/back-up systems, signal receivers, automation systems, emergency lighting and basic fire protection.

10 Things You Should Know About Fire Monitoring in Canada


May 2012

3. Trained staff and installation/servicing requirementsThe Standard defines the requirements for trained staff that handle operation of a fire signal receiving station. It also covers the installation and service of a fire protective signaling system at a protected property. It should be noted that subcontracting is not permitted under the ULC system certificate program.

4. Signal transmitting and receiving units must meet standardsThe signal transmitting unit located at a monitored premises and signal receiving units located at a fire signal receiving center are required to comply with the requirements of CAN/ULC-S559, Equipment for Fire Signal Receiving Centres and Systems, or CAN/ULC-S527, Standard for Control Units for Fire Alarm System. Equipment and devices not Listed by a nationally accredited certification body such as ULC do not meet the intent of the National Building Code.

5. Communications path systems are definedCommunication can come in the form of passive or active communication. Examples of passive systems are dual path systems and cellular back up; an example of an active system is Internet Protocol (IP). Transmitting and receiving equipment are ULC Listed to work with both types of communication channels and is tested to determine if there is telephone line supervision between a protected property and a fire signal receiving center.

6. Two Systems for Fire protection signaling systemsIt is sometimes assumed fire protection systems apply to only monitoring fire alarms. In fact, fire protective signaling systems are categorized in two separate systems:

Fire alarm panel monitoring• Stand-alone sprinkler alarm monitoring•

7. What constitutes a compliant system.For a system to be considered compliant, it has to include a Listed, ( i.e., tested and certified by a nationally accredited certification body) signal transmitting unit utilizing an approved communication path transmitting signals to a Listed fire signal receiving center. Supervision is required

from the connections in a fire alarm system control unit to a fire alarm transmitter communicating on an approved communication path (passive or active) through to a Listed fire signal receiving center.

8. Clarity on the disposition of signals• Fire alarm signals to be transmitted to a fire signal receiving center within 60 seconds

• Fire signal receiving center personnel must contact the fire department within 30 seconds

Defining the transmission time provides much more clarity for code users compared to previous requirements.

9. Clearly defined periodic testingAll fire protective signaling systems are required to be tested annually with records documenting the testing. These tests are required by CAN/ULC-S561 and are in addition to those required by CAN/ULC-S536, Standard for the Inspection and Testing of Fire Alarm Systems.

Stand-alone sprinkler risers shall be tested bimonthly. For these systems to remain working at all times, regular maintenance and testing at a protected property is needed.

10. The Issuance of a ULC CertificateOnce the installer of the fire protective signaling system determines that fire protective signaling system has been installed in accordance with requirements of CAN/ULC-S561 the installer would then request a ULC Certificate for the protected property, ULC issues a ULC certificate and this is displayed at a fire alarm monitoring panel. The certificate states that an installation, equipment and method of communication adhere to applicable ULC Standards. This certificate is the only proof that a building is being monitored in accordance with applicable ULC Standards.In summary, a ULC Protective Signaling Systems Certificate provides a code authority the necessary evidence that a complete system complies with the CAN/ ULC-S561 Standard. The technical working group is presently working on a second edition of the Standard CAN/ULC-S561 and is on track to be published in early 2012.For more information, please contact:Alan Cavers at +1.416.757.5250, ext 61207, or at [email protected].

Dix choses que vous devez savoir à propos de la surveillance incendie au Canada

Par Alan Cavers,directeur du service de l’ingénierieLaboratoires des Assureurs du Canada

En 2003, les Laboratoires des Assureurs du Canada ont publié la norme CAN/ULC-S561, Installation et services – systèmes et centrales

de réception d’alarme incendie, afin d’aborder les besoins de la communauté de réglementation au Canada pour l’établissement et le fonctionnement des centrales de réception d’alarme incendie, ainsi que l’interconnexion et l’installation entre les postes de transmission de signaux d’incendie et les commandes du système d’alarme incendie.

Bien souvent dans le passé, ces systèmes étaient installés par des entrepreneurs en systèmes de sécurité et ils étaient considérés comme secondaires au système d’alarme incendie connecté à un système de sécurité. Cette situation a souvent occasionné des délais et même l’absence de signaux d’alarme incendie au service d’incendie. La préoccupation des autorités d’intervention était l’empressement d’établir une méthode normalisée pour mobiliser le service d’incendie lorsque ce dernier recevait des signaux d’alarme incendie.

Voici 10 choses que vous devez savoir à propos de la norme CAN/ULC-S561 en ce qui a trait à la surveillance d’alarme incendie :

1. La norme est citée dans le Code national du bâtiment et le Code national de prévention des incendiesLe Code national du bâtiment et le Code national de prévention des incendies exigent qu’une centrale de réception d’alarme incendie et qu’un système d’avertissement de protection incendie dans le bâtiment protégé répondent aux exigences de la norme CAN/ULC-S561, Installation et services – systèmes et

centrales de réception d’alarme incendie. De plus, la norme CAN/ULC-S524-06, Installation des réseaux avertisseurs d’incendie, exige que l’interconnexion entre le poste de commande du système d’alarme incendie et une centrale de réception d’alarme incendie respecte également la norme CAN/ULCS561.

Ces deux normes sont non seulement citées séparément dans le Code, mais sont l’une pour l’autre indispensable en ce sens que la conformité à la norme CAN/ULC-S561 est en lien direct avec la norme CAN/ULC-S524.

2. La norme couvre plus que la signalisationEn plus de la signalisation, la norme CAN/ULCS561 exige que les centrales de réception d’alarme incendie soient conformes à des exigences spécifiques, comme le degré de résistance des séparations coupe-feu, la sortie, et d’autres exigences de construction et de sécurité, ainsi que les procédures de fonctionnement, les systèmes de secours et de réserve, les récepteurs de signaux, les systèmes d’automatisation, l’éclairage de secours et la protection incendie de base.

3. Les exigences visant le personnel formé, l’installation et l’entretienLa norme définit les exigences pour le personnel formé responsable du fonctionnement d’un poste de réception d’alarme incendie. Elle couvre également l’installation et l’entretien du système d’avertissement de protection incendie du bâtiment protégé. Il convient de noter que la sous-traitance n’est pas permise en vertu du programme de certification des systèmes offert par les ULC.

4. Les postes de transmission et de réception de signaux doivent être conformes aux normesLe poste de transmission de signaux situé sur les lieux surveillés et les postes de réception de signaux situés à une centrale de réception d’alarme incendie doivent être conformes aux exigences de la norme CAN/ULC-S559, Équipement des systèmes et des centrales de réception d’alarme incendie, ou CAN/ULC-S527, Norme sur les postes de contrôle pour les réseaux avertisseurs d’incendie. L’équipement et les dispositifs qui ne sont pas inscrits par un organisme de certification accrédité à l’échelle nationale, comme les ULC, ne répondent pas à l’objectif du Code national du bâtiment.

5. Les systèmes par voie de communication sont définisLes communications peuvent se présenter sous forme de communication active ou passive. Des exemples de communications passives incluent les systèmes à deux voies et les cellulaires de secours, alors que le protocole Internet (IP) est un exemple d’un système actif. L’équipement de transmission et de réception est inscrit par les ULC pour fonctionner avec les deux types de voies de communication et est mis à l’essai pour déterminer s’il y a une supervision de la ligne téléphonique entre un bâtiment protégé et une centrale de réception d’alarme incendie.

6. Deux systèmes pour les systèmes d’avertissement de protection incendie On présume parfois que les systèmes de protection incendie s’appliquent seulement à la surveillance d’alarmes incendie. Dans les faits, les systèmes d’avertissement de protection incendie sont classés selon deux systèmes séparés :Surveillance du panneau d’alarme incendieSurveillance des gicleurs autonomes

7. En quoi consiste un système conforme?Afin qu’un système soit considéré comme étant conforme, il doit comprendre un poste de transmission de signal inscrit (p. ex., mis à l’essai et certifié par un organisme accrédité à l’échelle nationale) utilisant une voie de communication approuvée qui transmet les signaux à une centrale de réception d’alarme incendie

inscrite. Une autre exigence vise la surveillance des connexions du poste de commande du système d’alarme incendie à un émetteur d’alarme incendie communicant sur une voie de communication approuvée (passive ou active) par l’entremise d’une centrale de réception d’alarme incendie inscrite.

8. Clarté en matière de disposition de signaux• Les signaux d’alarme incendie doivent être transmis à une centrale de réception d’alarme incendie dans les 60 secondes.• Le personnel de la centrale de réception d’alarme incendie doit communiquer avec le service d’incendie dans les 30 secondes.Le fait de définir le temps de transmission offre beaucoup plus de clarté aux utilisateurs de codes comparativement aux exigences antérieures.

9. La mise à l’essai périodique est clairement définieTous les systèmes d’avertissement de protection incendie doivent être mis à l’essai annuellement avec des registres qui documentent l’essai. Ces essais sont exigés par la norme CAN/ULC-S561 et s’ajoutent à ceux exigés par la norme CAN/ULC-S536, Inspection et mise à l’essai des réseaux avertisseurs d’incendie.

Les colonnes montantes de gicleurs autonomes doivent faire l’objet d’une mise à l’essai deux fois par mois. Afin que ces systèmes demeurent fonctionnels à tout moment, des mises à l’essai et des entretiens réguliers au bâtiment protégé sont nécessaires.

10. La délivrance d’un certificat ULC Une fois que l’installateur d’un système d’avertissement de protection incendie détermine que le système a été installé conformément aux exigences de la norme CAN/ULC-S561, ce dernier fait ensuite la demande pour obtenir un certificat ULC pour le bâtiment protégé. Les ULC délivrent un certificat ULC qui sera affiché au panneau de surveillance d’alarme incendie. Le certificat mentionne que l’installation, l’équipement et les méthodes de communication sont conformes aux normes ULC applicables. Ce certificat constitue la seule preuve qu’un bâtiment est surveillé conformément aux normes ULC applicables.En résumé, un certificat ULC pour les systèmes

Au début de février, les services d’incendie et d’urgence de

Clarington ont animé une séance de formation de quatre heures pour les principaux surveillants du Conseil scolaire Kawartha Pine Ridge. L’objectif était de s’assurer que les 26 surveillants comprennent leurs responsabilités telles qu’elles sont décrites dans le Plan de sécurité incendie de leurs écoles ainsi que certaines des exigences sous-jacentes du Code de prévention des incendies. Après avoir passé en revue certaines des questions courantes en matière d’inspection et quelques-uns des défis découlant des exercices d’évacuation en cas d’incendie qui ont eu lieu dans les écoles à l’automne, un modèle de formation a pris forme.

La première partie de la formation consistait à instruire les principaux surveillants au sujet des éléments de base du Plan de sécurité incendie et à déterminer qui en était responsable. Les surveillants ont appris les méthodes et les processus courants entourant la vérification des alarmes, des dispositifs, des extincteurs et des systèmes spécialisés. Cette formation visait à fournir un même niveau de connaissances à tous les surveillants, peu importe l’école dans laquelle ils travaillent, au sujet des exigences du Plan de sécurité incendie.

Afin de faciliter la formation, une présentation PowerPoint a été conçue pour passer en revue les renseignements de base sur la sécurité incendie

en général, les systèmes d’alarme incendie, les systèmes de gicleurs, les systèmes d’extinction fixes et les extincteurs. À mesure que la présentation progressait, l’animateur offrait plus de détails, au besoin, concernant un système en particulier ou un dispositif et expliquait la raison pour laquelle le Code de prévention des incendies structure ainsi les exigences.

Grâce à nos initiatives d’éducation du public, nous savions que les participants aux formations se sentent plus à l’aise avec l’information s’ils sont en mesure de la mettre en pratique au moyen de certaines activités. Nous recherchions ce même sentiment avec cette formation.

Pour ce faire, les thèmes ont été répartis en trois séances pratiques afin d’inclure un poste de système d’alarme incendie, un poste de système de gicleurs

et un poste combiné sur les systèmes d’extinction fixes/les issues, l’éclairage des issues/les extincteurs d’incendie. Les trois postes de formation étaient axés sur les éléments de base : quoi faire, qui aviser, les responsabilités décrites dans le Plan liées à un équipement donné, la fréquence des contrôles et des mises à l’essai et certaines autres mesures qui pourraient comprendre l’équipement de sécurité incendie. Les défis relatifs à cette formation étaient de s’assurer que l’information convienne à tous les niveaux de connaissances des personnes présentes; certains membres du personnel assumaient leurs rôles depuis moins longtemps que d’autres et (ou) se familiarisaient toujours avec le nouvel équipement. Le fait de garder la présentation interactive, de présenter différents animateurs ayant un autre ton de voix, de montrer de nouveaux visages et un style différent de présentation est un des éléments qui nous ont aidés à maintenir l’attention des participants. Le désir d’aller au-delà des attentes et d’introduire des éléments propres à l’industrie dans des activités brise-glace, en plus de faire jouer des vidéos amusantes liées au domaine, a aidé les participants à se sentir impliqués et prêts à commencer l’apprentissage du prochain thème.

Le service d’incendie tire trois avantages de la formation des surveillants. Elle nous a fourni une meilleure compréhension des défis que doit surmonter le personnel de surveillance en ce qui concerne certains groupes avec lesquels ils interagissent : les enseignants, les élèves, les directeurs, le personnel d’entretien, etc. Deuxièmement, la formation leur a fourni une tribune pour remettre en question certains aspects du Plan de sécurité incendie et discuter des défis qu’ils affrontent pour se conformer aux exigences du Code de prévention des incendies. Enfin, la formation leur a permis de se familiariser avec d’autres mesures pouvant être utilisées en cas d’alarme, particulièrement lorsqu’il s’agit d’alarmes accidentelles (p. ex., travail effectué dans l’école qui a causé l’activation).

La formation des principaux surveillants au sujet de leurs responsabilités telles qu’elles sont décrites dans les plans de sécurité incendie de leurs écoles facilitera notre réponse : être en mesure d’annuler partiellement une alarme après avoir confirmé qu’il n’y a aucun incendie. La formation a également aidé les principaux surveillants qui, nous l’espérons, se sentent maintenant plus à l’aise de poser des questions concernant les autres mesures pouvant être utilisées et la façon de gérer les difficultés en lien avec une

partie spécifique du système qu’ils vérifient, tel qu’il est détaillé dans le Plan. Dans l’ensemble, la formation a amélioré la communication entre les participants et ouvert la porte au partage de l’information, tout en établissant les services d’incendie et d’urgence de Clarington comme une ressource à consulter pour divers aspects. À la fin de la séance, nous avions tous le sentiment d’avoir appris de nouvelles choses de part et d’autre, d’avoir établi de nouveaux contacts et d’avoir une meilleure compréhension des fonctions de tous les participants et de ce que nous faisons au sein des écoles.

Le chef des incendies et les chefs adjoints des services d’incendie et d’urgence de Clarington étaient heureux d’apprendre que nous avions réussi à organiser ce type de formation au Conseil scolaire Kawartha Pine Ridge. À l’avenir, nous espérons que ce type de formation prendra de l’ampleur afin d’inclure les conseils scolaires et tous les surveillants. Comme première étape vers cet objectif, l’équipe d’inspection de Clarington est très emballée d’avoir eu l’occasion de créer et de mettre en œuvre la formation et d’avoir travaillé en partenariat avec un groupe qui exerce une influence directe sur la sécurité des jeunes aujourd’hui. Nous avons hâte de travailler avec eux à nouveau lors des prochaines séances de formation.

d’avertissement de protection incendie fournit à une autorité en matière de code la preuve nécessaire que tout le système est conforme à la norme CAN/ ULC-S561. Le groupe de travail technique travaille actuellement sur une deuxième édition de la norme CAN/ULC-S561, qui devrait être publiée au début de 2012.

Custodians Arm Themselves with Knowledge on School Fire Alarm Systems

By Jennifer DelaneyFire Inspector, Clarington Emergency & Fire Services

At the beginning of February, Clarington Emergency & Fire

Services held a four-hour training session for head custodians at Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board. The goal was to have all of the 26 custodians understand their responsibilities as they are outlined in the fire safety plan for their schools and to understand some of the Fire Code requirements behind them. After reviewing some of the common inspection issues and some challenges that were discovered in the fall term fire drills at schools, a template for the training became clear.

The first part of the training was to educate our head custodian students about the basic elements of the fire safety plan and who was responsible for them. The custodians were taught about common methods and processes for checking alarms, devices, extinguishers and specialized systems. By providing this information, it was hoped that every custodian would have the same knowledge regarding fire safety plan requirements, regardless of the school in which they would be working.

To better facilitate the training, a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation was designed to go through the basic information on general fire safety, fire alarm systems, sprinkler systems, fixed extinguishing systems and extinguishers. As the presentation progressed the presenter would discuss further details, if need be, about a particular system or device and why the Fire Code structured the requirements the way that it did.

Through our public education initiatives, we knew learners tended to go away from training with a higher comfort level with the information if they are not only told the information, but had been able to apply it with some ‘hands- on’ activities. We wanted this to be the case in this training too.

For the hands-on training, the presentation training topics were broken down into three practical sessions to include a fire alarm system station, sprinkler system station and a combination station on fixed extinguishing systems/exits, exit lighting/fire extinguishers. The three station sessions were geared to cover the basics : what to do, who to notify, what the responsibilities in the plan are related to that equipment, frequency of checks/tests and some alternative measures that may involve the fire safety equipment. The challenges with this training were to make the information meet all of the levels of knowledge in the room; some staff were newer in their roles than others and/or were still

becoming familiar with new equipment. Keeping the presentation interactive, providing different presenters for a change in voice, a new face and a new delivery style also assisted us in keeping everyone attentive. Going the extra mile and having industry specific items built into icebreakers and playing amusing and related video jokes, also helped keep everyone feeling included and ready to learn the next topic.

The benefit of the custodian training to the fire department was threefold. It provided us with a better understanding of what challenges the custodial staff face with some of the groups they interact with: teachers, students, principals, facilities staff etc. Second, the training provided them with a forum to question certain parts of the fire safety plan and talk about the challenges they face in meeting Fire Code requirements. Lastly, the training allowed them to become familiar with alternative measures they could use, should there be an alarm, particularly in the instances where it may have been accidental (i.e., work being done in the school that caused the activation).

Educating the head custodians on their responsibilities as outlined in the fire safety plans of their school will help us with our response: being able to downgrade the alarm once it is known there is no fire. The training

also helped the head custodians who now hopefully feel more comfortable about asking questions about alternative measures they can use or how to handle difficulties with a particular part of the system that they are checking as outlined in the plan. As a whole, the training enhanced the communication between everyone and opened the door to information sharing and resourcing Clarington Emergency & Fire Services for various things. At the end of the session we all felt we had gained some new knowledge from each other, made some new contacts and came away with a better understanding of each other’s jobs and what we do within the schools.

The Clarington Emergency & Fire Services Fire Chief and deputy chiefs were happy to hear that we had been successful in conducting this kind of training session to the Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board. In the future it is hoped that this kind of training will grow to include both boards and all custodian staff. As a first step into this type of training, the Clarington inspection team is very excited to have had the chance create, implement the training and to have partnered with a group that directly influences the safety of our young people today. We look forward to working with them again in future training sessions.

The Alberta Chapter board of directors would like to thank everyone that has contributed and will continue to contribute to the success of the CFAA and continue to help in our mission “To maximize the use and effectiveness of Fire Alarm Systems in the

Protection of Life and Property in Canada”.

A personal thank you to those people (and their companies) that continue to volunteer the many hours for the Alberta Chapter of the CFAA, in trying to bring awareness and share knowledge within the Industry in Alberta. Daryll de Waal (CFAA Alberta Chapter Secretary) with Siemens has been particularly busy with promoting the Chapter recently with events

both in Grand Prairie and Fort McMurray – “well done” Daryll.

Thomas VanKosh with Concept Electric Ltd in Calgary had a fantastic idea and established a LinkedIn group for the Alberta Chapter of the CFAA, check out the link below:

www.linkedin.com/groups/CFAA-Alberta-Chapter-4366753

If you have an item of interest that you would like to discuss or share with the Chapter please email one of the board of directors (found on the NEW CFAA website http://www.cfaa.ca/AlbertaChapter.aspx) or take advantage of the new LinkedIn group. Remember to mark your calendars for:

• June 28th 2012, 9:30am - 2pm: Annual General Meeting - Red deer Black Knight Inn• October 17th 2012: The next Alberta Technical Seminar to be held at the River Cree Resort in Edmonton.

For those of you who aren’t already active in participating in CFAA activities, we would like to strongly suggest that it is high time you give it careful consideration. The Fire Alarm industry is changing and evolving rapidly across the country, and we believe that you not only need to be aware of what is happening, you need to be making your opinions and perspectives heard. You need to be influencing the directions the Association takes by getting involved.

A number of critical events have recently taken place, a number of critical milestones have been reached, and there is major opportunity for growth, improvement and positive change going forward. At this point, our future directions are being determined by just a few volunteers. Don’t let it all happen without you or your representative taking part.

A major opportunity now presents itself to all of us to be at the center of it all, to listen, to be heard, and to participate. That opportunity is the Annual General Meeting of the CFAA Alberta Chapter, which will be held at the Black Knight Inn, 2929-50 Avenue, Red Deer, Alberta, on Thursday, June 28th, 2012, from 10:00am to 2:00pm.Come and find out the latest, and join in at your Chapter Association’s most important meeting of the year!

The Alberta Electrical League (AEL) EXPO 2012 was held in Grand Prairie on March 22 at the Evergreen Park TEC Centre. Grand Prairie or ‘GP’ as it is called, is a town with a population of around 50,000. The tradeshow had over 40 exhibitors, 5 seminars and several hundred participants.

This was the first time the Alberta Chapter has gone on the road with our new CFAA Booth. The ‘Electrical Learning EXPO’ had a variety of attendees from industry, electrical contractors, manufacturers,

students as well as municipal and government to name a few.

Jerry Cerny, a fire alarm Account Executive with Siemens Canada in Edmonton joined me in manning the booth. Most of the people we talked to were not familiar with the Canadian Fire Alarm Association and were curious to know what we were all about. Many saw the need for more education, industry awareness, knowledge of best practices and newer technology. It was nice to be able to talk about what

we had to offer and why we feel it is important.

We brought with us the latest issue of the CFAA Journal, as well as membership brochures, promotional pens and the like.

We also took the opportunity to talk about the Annual Technical Seminar that we put on and that the next one is on October 17th in Edmonton.

All in all, it was a bit of a grassroots campaign and I believe we laid the foundations at least somewhat for the future in Northern Alberta. I was thankful to be a part of it.

The 2013 AEL EXPO will be held in Lethbridge.

The CFAA was invited to speak at the opening of an Xtralis seminar that was held in Fort McMurray on March 28th.

The event was organized by Leonid Solonovich, Fire Prevention Officer with the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo.

Jon Mandoli, Xtralis Regional Sales Manager for the North West came and spoke about design goals and product offerings that are designed to meet specific requirements and challenges. The seminar was attended by about 40 people from a range of backgrounds including Regional Emergency Services Fire Prevention Branch, Security and Fire Alarm Service and Manufacturing companies, Oil and Gas Companies and Fire Alarm Manufacturers.

Daryll de Waal from the Alberta CFAA Chapter talked among other things, about the history of the CFAA, the Alberta Chapter as well as education, and provincial requirements, then had an open discussion on what is the best practice for Electromagnetic lock

interface with a fire alarm system. It was good to have feedback from a variety of backgrounds in one room.

The topic brought to light that it is important to have more unity and discussion in the design, installation and testing in the industry between all the parties involved.

Leo Solonovich the organizer of the event is a strong supporter of the CFAA and the 2010 CFAA Scholarship Award Winner after having completed a two year full time Fire Protection Technology Course.

The CFAA would like to thank Leo, the Fire Prevention Branch and Fire Marshal Nick Brenner for joining the event as well as Jon and Xtralis.

Jon Mandoli, North West Regional Manager from Xtralis speaks in Fort McMurray to Fire Prevention Officers, and the fire alarm service industry about design goals and how to meet the intent not just in the installation phase but also for maintenance during the life cycle.

There is no downtime. Every second lost, every transaction missed, every bit of data destroyed can mean huge financial losses. So to keep your mission critical facility running 24/7, you need to be alerted to the faintest traces of smoke — the first indication of system trouble.

With FAAST’s dual vision sensing technology, a blue LED detects extremely low concentrations of smoke. An infrared laser identifies nuisances like dust that can cause false alarms and downtime. Advanced algorithms interpret signals from both sources to meet a single purpose — the earliest and most accurate smoke detection available.

Dual vision is only one of the unique innovations that make the FAAST Fire Alarm Aspiration Sensing Technology from System Sensor the new standard for Very Early Warning Fire Detection. To learn more, visit systemsensor.com/faast.
