Trouble Alann. Each type of alann has different notification and response requirements.

Wl1en an alarm is activated in the Liberty Island fire alann system, a signal is simultaneously sent to the fire monitor screen located in the command center and to the central monitoring station who upon receipt of an alam1 will call the command center by phone to notify them of the alann activation at Liberty Island.

Liberty Island, the command center staff will use the fire alann monitor located in the command center to obtain the type of alarm and location. Once the location and alann type is determined then the command center staff will dispatch the appropriate personnel to the scene. Command
