About this file

This document is a Fire Alarm System Inspection and Testing Form for Hines VA Buildings 37 & 38, completed by CFP Life Safety Systems, LLC on 9/24/2024. The comprehensive inspection report details the fire alarm system's components, including 36 total circuits with a Notifier NFS-3030 control unit located in the East Hallway by Room 125A. The inspection revealed multiple battery and device issues, including:

Key findings include 20 batteries across various panels and locations that need replacement, with several battery load tests failing. Critical system deficiencies were noted, such as a duct detector keyswitch not activating in RTU RT-8 Return Column AB-19, and elevator machine room and shaft detectors failing to recall elevators to proper floors. A duct detector keyswitch in Room 154 (RTU 5) also requires replacement. Despite these issues, the report indicates that all known and accessible initiating and notification appliances were tested in accordance with NFPA standards, with the system ultimately restored to normal operation on 10/15/2024.
