Chat with a fire alarm tech about panel placement... gave me a lot to think about

Ran into a guy at the supply house who does fire alarms for hospitals. He said he always puts his panels where maintenance guys can actually reach them without moving a ladder. I never thought about that... I just put them wherever the print says. He told me about a job where the panel was behind a server rack and the fire marshal made them move it. Cost them like $3k. Now I'm second guessing half my installs from the last 2 years. Any of you guys check for that stuff before you mount?

Buddy of mine had to rerun conduit because of a sprinkler head he missed.
