Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District (TMFPD) encourages residents to find their own emergency monitoring vendors. In regards to a fire alarm permit, which would allow alarm companies to also phone call TMFPD, not just the Sheriff’s Office, this is a permit that the alarm company would pull for the resident.

This is an electrical permit, that would require design of a top shelf system, and would need to be installed by a State Fire Marshal. This will take a different type of detector, not a self-enunciated one. The resident will have to look into a system with dual or triple features (if the resident doesn't already have one with these features) and the alarm company will handle this process for the resident.
