For residents
Did you get a message from Alarmi?
Your housing company sends it. Alarmi is a service the housing company uses to ask residents to test their smoke alarms and to keep a record of the answers.
Testing takes about a minute. No account or password is needed.
The picture shows a message from Alarmi. The sender is Alarmi. The subject and the message name the housing company As Oy Kerkkärinne and apartment B 206. The “Report the test result” button leads to alarmi.fi.
How to test.
Do the test when you are at home. The message lists the smoke alarms in your apartment.
-
Press the test button.
Hold the alarm's test button down for a few seconds. A working alarm sounds loudly. Do not climb on a chair: you can press the button with a broom handle, for example.
-
Open the link in the message.
For each alarm, choose what happened: “It sounded, it works”, “It did not sound properly” or “I need help testing”. Save.
-
Done.
Your answer is saved in the housing company's smoke alarm register with the date. The link works for 14 days, so you can come back to it if you cannot test them all at once.
Did an alarm not sound? Say so on the same form. The housing company gets a fault report straight away. Keeping the alarms working is the housing company's responsibility.
Under section 17 of the Rescue Act, residents must report a faulty alarm to the housing company without delay. Testing lets you spot a fault in time. Finlex: pelastuslaki 379/2011
