Lauderdale don’t have a plan for when their fire suppression system is down, malfunctioning, or being repaired.When your fire alarm system or water suppression system is taken offline or is malfunctioning, you will need a Fire Watch Service to avoid costly fines.

NFPA 101 section 9 states, if an automatic sprinkler or fire alarm system is down for over 4 hours in a 24 hour period, the building is required to have a fire watch service or must be evacuated.
