The Rochester Middle School fire alarm system had 19 false alarms last year. Several of these were accidents or someone pulled the alarm. Most of these are related to malfunctions in the alarm system. The school is safe, the system is working, but sometimes the control panel incorrectly reads something amiss in a smoke detector. We have tried to replace the electronics in the control panel, the circuit boards, and the entire panel.
The system is out of date, and requires a complete replacement. The City Council approved the funding for this project on Tuesday, September 1st. We have sent out an RFP for an engineer to draw up the specifications. Once we have the specifications completed, we will move forward with the project as soon as possible. We will ask the installer to work evenings and weekends, so there is not a disruption to the school day. When all of the components are installed, it should be an easy switch over to the new system.
