(a) All monitoring companies shall follow the policies of the Bureau. Failure to do so shall result in fines ranging from one hundred dollars ($100.00) to five hundred dollars ($500.00.)
(b) Whenever an alarm monitoring station receives an alarm signal, it shall be assumed the alarm is functioning correctly and reporting an actual fire condition. The alarm monitoring station shall notify the Fire Division immediately, as the first party to be notified, of the alarm condition. All other parties to whom notification is requested shall be contacted only after the Fire Division is notified. Any alarm monitoring station failing to comply with this section shall be assessed a fine of at least five hundred dollars ($500.00), but not more than one thousand dollars ($1000.00).
(c) Whenever an alarm monitoring station does not receive a signal indicating the detection system has returned to normal service within four hours of the initial alarm signal, the Fire Division shall be notified to further investigate the matter.
