Alarm technology applied at UMaine by Jennifer Girr Staff Writer Technological advancements and na- tional fire code requirements have fostered changes in the protection of campus buildings. "The biggest code changes are in the inspection of equipment and corridor smoke detector placement," said David Fielder, chief of the department of en- \ ironmental safety. Fielder said the detectors will now be checked and thoroughly cleaned every six months instead of just a monthly check. "We don't have to check the new smoke detectors as often because they are supervised and when something is wrong, we are automatically alerted," he added. Fielder said the new type of smoke detector is smaller, more reliable and less sensitive to false alarms. The other code change requires smoke detectors to be placed every 30 feet in- stead of every 60 feet in corridors. Fielder said. "We bought new equipment because the state of technology has improved, so we want to go with the best system, he said. Residence halls are required to have smoke detectors, alarms and pull stations and are being updated with a computer- based system, he said.
