Therefore, thousands of dollars in assets may be preserved by having an updated, advanced fire alarm system. 3.

The reduced cost of insurance can help offset the cost of the alarm system. 4. Job and Income Losses are Reduced Job and income loss are reduced, or eliminated with the installation of an advanced fire alarm.
