Fire-alarm information

!

Ross lists a fire-alarm permit application separately. That document concerns a fire/code permit and is not evidence that homeowners must register security alarms with Police.

Fire-alarm installation permits are a separate matter.

A fire-alarm installation permit appears separately on the Township forms page.

It should not be conflated with a fire-code installation permit.

The no-registration conclusion is limited to security alarms registered with Police. Confirm the scope of any fire permit or false-alarm charge before relying on it.
