Telgian’s Tom Parrish to Present NFPA 72 Fire Alarm Spacing Requirements Webinar March 14

Fire alarm systems utilize initiating and notification devices to determine when there is a fire to warn building occupants. The March 14 Fire Alarm Spacing Requirements webinar will provide an understanding of why the placement of these devices is such a critical aspect of design and installation, and how this impacts systems’ efficacy.
