Devices, methods, and systems for causing a self-testing fire sensing device to initiate a fire response are described herein. One device includes a user interface, a memory, and a processor configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory to receive, via the user interface, a selection to initiate a fire response, receive, via the user interface, a selection of a self-testing fire sensing device to initiate the fire response, transmit a command to the self-testing fire sensing device to initiate the fire response, and receive a notification of a number of output events triggered by the initiation of the fire response by the self-testing fire sensing device.
