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;

En direct du
rédacteur en chef
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,

10 Things You Should
Know About Fire
Monitoring in Canada
I
By Alan Cavers
Engineering Manager - Underwriters Laboratories of Canada
n 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.
2. The Standard covers more than
signaling
In 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.
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 Code
The 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.
The Health & Safety Management Group is an authorized
provider of the C.F.A.A. “Fire Alarm Technology” program.
We offer this course, coast to coast, in a variery of formats,
including group sessions, public offerings, weekdays,
weekends, or other schedules to meet our client needs.
The five module program is designed to be completed in full
days consisting of 36 hours per module, leading to
certification as a “Fire Alarm Technician”.
Exemptions for Modules 2, 3 and 4 may be granted by the
C.F.A.A. if the proper qualifications are provided.

3. Trained staff and installation/
servicing requirements
The 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 standards
The 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 defined
Communication 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 systems
It 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
6
C A NA D IA N F I R E A L A R M A S S O C IAT I O N
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 testing
All 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
Certificate
Once 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.

Dix choses que vous
devez savoir à propos de
la surveillance incendie
au Canada
E
Par Alan Cavers,directeur du service de l’ingénierie
Laboratoires des Assureurs du Canada
n 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 incendies
Le 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
signalisation
En 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’entretien
La 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.
L ' A ssociation C anadienne D ' A larme I ncendie
7
mai 2012
4. Les postes de transmission et
de réception de signaux doivent
être conformes aux normes
Le 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 définis
Les 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 incendie
Surveillance 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
8
L ' A ssociation C anadienne D ' A larme I ncendie
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 définie
Tous 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

Par Jennifer Delaney
Inspectrice en incendie services d'incendie et d'urgence de clarington
u 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 sousjacentes 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.

Custodians Arm Themselves
with Knowledge on School
Fire Alarm Systems
Reprinted with permission from the Ontario Fire Service Messenger, Volume 20, Issue 2
By Jennifer Delaney
Fire Inspector, Clarington Emergency & Fire Services
A
t 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.

C A NA D IA N F I R E A L A R M A S S O C IAT I O N
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
May 2012
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.

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/

Alberta Electrical
League Expo
By Daryll de Waal
Secretary of the Alberta CFAA Chapter And Accountant Executive for Siemens Canada
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.

he 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

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.

Think FAAST™ Fire Alarm Aspiration Sensing Technology
Dual Vision. Single Purpose.
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

If something happens on campus
how would they reach us out here?
In critical moments, Sygnal™ mass notification
ensures that every message finds its recipient.
On a college campus, students can be spread over miles: some hunched in front of computer screens, some
gathered in the quad, some talking on their phones. To reach them all, you need more than just the software and
hardware of a mass notification system. You need a plan, and the expertise and service necessary to execute it.
Sygnal lets you reach people inside, outside and at their side for maximum contactibility when it matters most.
With Sygnal, you really can reach them all. www.siemens.ca/buildingtechnologies
