Fire alarm
Koas is responsible for the installation, and replacement of fire alarms.
If you have a traditional fire alarm, you can test its functionality by pressing the test button. A functioning alarm will make a loud sound when the button is pressed. If the alarm gives a short beep, it is time to replace the battery. In that case, submit a fault report to maintenance so that the battery or the entire device can be replaced. Residents are obligated to report if the device malfunctions – please submit a fault report.
If your neighbor is away and their fire alarm is disturbing you, notify maintenance.
In certain properties, such as Ainolankaari, Harju, Heikinsilta, Hospa, Jyvänen, Kangas, Kankaantorni, Koppari, Kotiraide, Korttelikylä, Laajavuori, Rantapellonpolku, Ratapiha, Seminaarinmäki, Sillanpää, Syke, Taitoniekantie, Tourula, in buildings C, D, E, and F of Myllyjärvi and Veturi, there are automatic fire detectors. Koas is responsible for the maintenance of these systems, and residents must not touch the detectors in their apartments under any circumstances.
If the alarm is false, the resident must reset it using the button in the stairwell.
In the event of a fire, the resident must call the emergency number 112 themselves, as the alarm is not automatically forwarded to the emergency center.
