Summary

Fire panels monitor the fire protection equipment, and send an alarm signal directly to the Fire Brigade for immediate attendance, if required. They also monitor non-brigade call out items and can display a system fault warning light from time to time. 
Without exception, any warning light must be followed up to maintain the integrity of the fire protection system within the building. If you notice a problem, please highlight this to your Council of the Strata Company or the Strata Manager without delay.
