Buildings and other properties in Abu Dhabi should follow the stringent rules laid out for fire safety - including ensuring that detectors and firefighting systems are always in good condition.
The Abu Dhabi Civil Defence Authority on Tuesday issued an advisory reminding residents and property owners of a serious safety violation.
Besides being equipped with fire alarm devices, establishments should have a maintenance contract for these systems, the authority said.
A fine of Dh10,000 shall be imposed for the "absence of a valid maintenance contract approved by the Civil Defence for fire alarm systems and devices, and fire fighting systems and equipment", it added.
The maintenance service should also be provided by a company approved by the Civil Defence. This rule has been specified on UAE Cabinet Resolution No. 24 of 2012.
