Dear 3155 Porter Colleagues,
Siemens is planning to perform the annual fire alarm and fire sprinkler inspection on Thursday, November 13th. This will include operation of the interior enunciator panel. We expect the inspection to last all morning, but they will perform the fire alarm audible testing between 7:00 am and 8:00 am.
DATE: Thursday, November 13th, 2025
TIME: 7:00 am – 8:00 am (audible testing via the interior enunciator panel).
The annual inspection will last until 1:00 pm
IMPACT: The enunciator panel will be activated during this time. It is recommended that all persons avoid occupying the building, if possible, while testing is being conducted.
Any fire alarm activity outside of the timeframe indicated above should be treated as an actual fire event and normal evacuation plans should be followed.
