Annual Fire Alarm testing is required and is vital for protecting us and our homes.
Affiliated Customer Service of Downers Grove, our alarm service company, will be conducting the annual fire alarm testing in all the homes in Ashbrook Place for the Darien-Woodridge Fire Protection District. A technician will need to enter your home for about 15 minutes between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. to test all the alarm heat sensors.
Please be home or arrange for someone to let the technician in for a few minutes to conduct the testing. See below for more information:
- Annual fire alarm testing will be done on weekdays. This year the test date is Monday, October 2nd. Testing will start at 8:00 a.m. at 1200 Ashbrook Court and proceed counterclockwise through the development.
- Testing will now be done for every heat detector in every unit. As there are between 6 and 8 heat detectors in each unit, this is going to take longer than in the past. Our guess is that 15 minutes per unit will be required making this an all-day affair.
- All units will be tested every year without exception. If your unit is not tested on the scheduled day, Affiliated will return once. If a third attempt is necessary you will have to pay $150.00.
- For those Owners/Tenants who are at work on the October 2nd, or those who need to leave home before the test can be done, we are offering to escort the testers into your unit, supervise the testing and lock your unit when complete. If you need a tester escort call Chris at 708-785-3090.
All of this is being done for safety and everybody’s cooperation is appreciated.
