Life-safety fire alarm — designed, monitored, and always inspection-ready.

What We Do

A full-cycle fire alarm program.

Design, installation, inspection, monitoring, and emergency service — under one licensed integrator, so nothing falls between contractors when the fire marshal comes back next year.

Ground-Up Systems

New Construction & Build-Out

Fire alarm design, submittals, permits, and installation coordinated with GCs and MEP consultants — engineered for AHJ approval on the first walk.

System Modernization

Retrofit & Panel Replacement

Bring aging or non-compliant systems current with NFPA 72 — panel swaps, device upgrades, and phased cut-overs that minimize occupied-building downtime.

NFPA 72 Compliance

Testing & Annual Inspection

Full NFPA 72 annual, semi-annual, quarterly, and monthly testing with certified reports delivered to your fire marshal and property records.

UL-Listed Dispatch

24/7 Central Station Monitoring

Every panel dispatched through a UL-listed central station with cellular + IP dual-path communications and supervised heartbeat — priority fire signal handling.

24/7 Emergency Response

Service & Repair

FAL and FAT-certified technicians on-call for troubles, faults, and post-event system restoration — with parts inventory to keep panels online.

Permitting & Sign-Off

AHJ & Fire Marshal Coordination

Plan review, permit submittals, pre-tests, and the final AHJ walk — so GCs and owners don't chase inspectors and paperwork.

FAQs

Common questions.

What's included in an annual NFPA 72 inspection?

Every device on the system — pull stations, smoke and heat detectors, notification appliances, sprinkler tamper and flow switches, and the panel itself — is functionally tested against NFPA 72. You get a certified report for your fire marshal and property records.

Can you take over service on a fire alarm system you didn't install?

Yes. We assess the panel, device inventory, and monitoring path, then bring the system into our inspection, monitoring, and service program. In most cases no rip-and-replace is needed.

How does UL-listed monitoring dispatch fire signals?

Every panel signal is received at a UL-listed central station operating 24/7. Fire signals are treated as priority and dispatched to your local fire department within seconds. The signal path is supervised — if comms drop, the station knows.

Can you handle permits and sign-offs with our local fire marshal?

Yes. We handle plan review, permit submittals, pre-tests, and the final AHJ walk — so your GC and property team don't chase inspectors and paperwork.
