Electronic Alarms and Home Security Devices - Fire sprinkler system rewire?

I am remodeling the basement in my town home and there is a fire sprinkler/alarm system installed throughout the complex.
All of the wiring for the system is pulled through conduit and lighting boxes that I wish to eliminate. There is a breaker lock as well as a tamper indicator box on the water lines. If I were to cut power to the system, would I have to worry about the alarm going off, the sprinklers activating, fire department getting called, etc.?
I just want to clean it up and run dedicated conduit for the system and get rid of the ceiling boxes so I don't have random blank plates and junction boxes all over the place.

Thanks for your help.

Hi tp, I'm smiling because my crew was on a job at a bank when the manager pulled me aside and said don't get nervous, we are surrounded. The silent alarm had been tripped and the police responded. They checked every teller and office one by one, but no bank robbers were found. By chance, I asked my techs if any of them had pulled any wires by mistake, and one grabbed a coil of wire from the trash and said he had given this piece a hair cut as it was in his way. Yup, it was part of the alarm system.

I'm not sure about Chicago, but I know some states require a license to do alarm work. Probably don't want a false alarm for work you shouldn't be doing, they might get real upset at that. :)

Check with all parties concerned.

As mentioned previously, fire alarm and fire sprinkler connections are generally _not_ a DIY thing. In most jurisdictions in the US it's one of the more regulated building issues around.

Fire alarm wiring is very specific. The odds are that the junction boxes are there for a reason. This is one of those things where you really need to have a pro look at what you have.

Changes to life safety systems like this involve taking on _huge_ liability issues, especially since this one seems to involve more than your own personal space.
