A fire can spread quickly. Fire alarms are critical for protecting properties and, more importantly, saving lives. Fire alarm systems monitor changes associated with combustion, identifying the existence of a fire, alerting occupants of the building of the need to evacuate the area while also alerting our central station operators to notify emergency personnel.
When establishing fire detection goals for automatic fire alarms, it is important to remember that there are levels of detection that must be met. Building codes, insurance companies, and other authorities regulate these factors. The alarm designer specifies the precise components, arrangements, and interfaces required to achieve these objectives. The installation standard is NFPA 72, the most extensively used National Fire Alarm Code in the United States.

By law, commercial fire alarms must be inspected on an annual basis and sometimes more frequently. Our technicians are trained to perform these inspections for you and complete any necessary repairs. We can remind you each year when the inspection is due to keep you compliant and prevent costly fines from the fire department.
