Secure Buildings Policy

Fire Alarmpedia encourages our members to contribute any facilities they wish to. However, in order to ensure the safety, security, and legal integrity of Fire Alarmpedia, certain facilities are prohibited from being added to the Wiki. These include, but are not limited to:

• Police Stations
• Courthouses
• Military Buildings (includes buildings located ON military bases)
• Datacentres with Restricted Access
• Private Residences (Single-family homes, does not include apartments or health services) (not a secure building)
• Legal Facilities
• Prisons/Jails/Correctional Facilities
• High-Security Buildings
• Government Facilities with Secure Tenants
• Mental Institutions
• Any Facility subject to Non-Disclosure Agreements for Visitors

Failure to comply with this policy will result in account restrictions or permanent deletion, at the discretion of Fire Alarmpedia staff. If you are not sure if a building is acceptable to add, feel free to ask a staff member - we are happy to help!

ADDENDUM - Secure Building Information Availability Program:

Information about secure buildings may only be posted on Fire Alarmpedia under the guidelines of our Secure Building Information Availability Program.

A code will be assigned by staff to a secure building, which must be used as the title of the page (i.e. "Secure Building - SB00001")

Any information that could reveal the identity or location of the building must be strictly omitted.

The purpose of this program is to allow system specifications to be archived and documented without publicly exposing the identity of the building.

Technicians who may be working on said systems can provide Fire Alarmpedia with proof that they are licensed contractors assigned to the fire alarm system in that building. If a page for that site exists, they will be given the corresponding code.
