Depending on your municipality, a state-licensed professional for it to be tested your Minnesota fire suppression system. You should follow a maintenance schedule for fire sprinkler systems like:

Monthly – Verify all control valves in the open position.
Quarterly – Conduct a main drain test.
Annually – A professional fire sprinkler contractor should inspect the system.
Every 5 years – Backflow prevention device needs to be rebuilt, and piping needs internal inspection.

Here are some other tips to ensure your fire suppression system works adequately:

-          Have an emergency exit plan.
-          Host monthly a fire drill to ensure everyone is aware of the exit plan.
