Re: Fire alarm reference
NECA has a National Electrical Installation Standard on Fire Alarm systems. It goes with the NEC, add installation details, about $25.00

Re: Fire alarm reference
Fire Alarm systems require two code books - NFPA 72, telling you how to design and install fire alarms, and the Lifesafety Code, NFPA 101, which tells you what occupancies require a fire alarm and to what degree. Three States that I know of, New York, California and Florida, have their own Fire Prevention codes that are more restrictive than the NFPA references.

Since you are an electrician, I would recommend, Limited Energy Systems by Noel Williams. This book covers firealarm, it also covers Remote-Control and Signaling, Fiber Optics, and Communications.
