Fire Equipment Safety Testing Apr 13-17, 2026
Fraser Valley Fire Protection will be on our campus April 13 – 17 to conduct our annual fire equipment inspection as required by code. For residents in the apartments a technician will need to enter each apartment. The technician will be wearing a uniform shirt with the Fraser Valley Fire Protection logo on it. Residents do not need to do anything during the test and can stay in their apartment while the test takes place. The test is brief but it can be loud. Residents are asked to remain seated during the test and keep out of the way of the technician.
Please note these tests will cause the fire alarms to sound briefly. They may also cause the fire panels to beep. The bells will turn on and off quickly. In the event of an actual fire alarm the bells would sound and keep ringing.
Announcements will be made in each apartment building at lunch to remind the residents. Each day that the technicians are here they will begin around 8am and work their way through each building floor by floor. We are not able to predict when they will reach each room. For the apartments the testing usually lasts most of the day.

- Monday, April 13, 2026, starting at approximately 8:00 a.m. – Menno Hospital
