WHAT IS OPEN ACCESS™, AND HOW DO YOU GET THESE FIRE ALARM SIGNALS TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT?

When the fire alarm signal is received in our monitoring station, OPEN ACCESS™ fire alarm monitoring instantly & electronically retransmits all of the needed information directly to the correct fire department. Independent research proves this technology saves up to 2 minutes in emergency response times. Every single minute is crucial, considering that fire doubles in size every minute after the first four minutes. OPEN ACCESS™ fire alarm monitoring is completely compliant with all relevant Building and Fire Codes. In areas where OPEN ACCESS™ is not available, Deltacom will contact the appropriate authorities through a phone call and report this information.
