Fire Equipment Testing – April 2024
Technicians will be coming to test the fire equipment in each of the buildings the week of April 15 – 19. For residents in the apartments a technician will need to enter each apartment. The technician will be accompanied by a Menno Place staff member and all residents will receive notice, in writing, in advance of the testing. Residents do not need to do anything during the test and are able to stay in their apartment while the test takes place.
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 very quickly. In the event of an actual fire alarm the bells would sound and keep ringing.
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.
The schedule for 2024 is:
- Pavilion – Monday, April 15, 2024
- Terrace West – Tuesday, April 16, 2024
- Primrose Gardens – Wednesday, April 17, 2024
- Menno Home – Thursday, April 18, 2024
- Menno Hospital – Friday, April 19, 2024
Terrace East will be tested at a later date.
