Typically, a residential fire sprinkler system is not monitored by an alarm company. When the alarm goes off, it is simply to notify the owner that a sprinkler has activated or there is a malfunction with the system. In which case, please refer to the FAQ regarding residential fire sprinkler leaks. You can choose to have your residential fire sprinkler system monitored by contacting an approved Central Receiving Station Alarm Company.
If the fire sprinkler has a minor leak, you need to contact your licensed Fire Sprinkler Contractor for repair. If your fire sprinkler has a major leak, like a broken head, you can contact us at (916) 933-6623 for immediate assistance as well as your licensed Fire Sprinkler Contractor.

If your smoke alarm is making a chirping sound, this most likely means that you need to change your battery or clean the smoke alarm as recommended by the manufacturer. If your smoke alarm is sounding continuously, you should treat it like there is a fire and evacuate the house until it can be confirmed, in a safe manner, that there is no sign of danger. If you are unable to confirm that there is no fire, contact 9-1-1 for assistance.
