necessity of fire panel

Hi everyone, this is an excellent site, thank you. I wonder if anyone can answer this query? We live in a strata block of six, with two separate entrances (four units at the front, and two at the back). Every unit has smoke detectors/sprinkler systems in each room. We also have a fire panel in the front common foyer, operated by FireSafe. Whenever the alarm goes off – due to very sensitive smoke detectors – the fire panel has to be re-set at the cost of a couple of hundred dollars to the body corporate. When the alarm goes off it’s up to the residents to ring the fire brigade if there is a real fire – and to also press “isolate” on the fire panel to stop the alarm. The fire panel seems to have no real use other than to cost us money to have reset on the numerous occasions throughout the year when someone burns their toast. If the fire panel is not eventually reset it emits a never-ending high-pitched beep… Is it necessary to have this fire panel? I hope someone can shed some light on the situation. Fingers’ crossed – and thank you in anticipation.
