Smoke and CO Detector Inspections

Please follow this link to a recall notice regarding Edwards Heat Detectors.  Please ensure these detectors are not present in the home you wish to be inspected:  Edwards Heat Detector Recall

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide detectors are required for all dwellings and must be inspected by the fire department prior to the sale of any property. The inspection verifies that both types of detectors are functioning and have been installed in accordance with Massachusetts General Law Chapter 148.

  • Low Voltage type systems must be inspected by a fire alarm company and a copy of the inspection report must be available in order to receive a certificate.  We do not inspect low voltage systems.  If there is not a record of completion by a fire alarm company, the inspection will not pass.
  • Battery powered detectors must be 10 year sealed Lithium powered

Please visit our "Fire Prevention" page on this website for information regarding the proper types and placement of detectors.
