The fire alarm in the building not working - reason?


Recommended Posts

The so-called management of the building I have an apartment in performed a fire alarm test but nothing could be heard. Only after pressuring from several co-owners they admitted that it just doesn't work anymore. Further pressured they issued an announcement that the fire alarm system would not work because of depleted batteries and that they currently do not have the budget to fix the problem. End of story.

Is that actually true that fire alarm systems only works by attached battery power?

My understanding is that they should be run by the actual power grid and the battery system is just there in case the power grid fails so in that case the batteries take over and trigger an alarm if necessary...
