A Successful Fire Monitoring System

Fire protection starts with detection and response. The latest smoke and CO2 detectors are your early first detectors. Some companies benefit from today’s aspirating smoke detectors, which draw in air samples and then analyze them for the presence of minute smoke particles. This provides earlier notification, detecting smoldering fires at their earliest stage, and enables staff and clients to take quick action before the unthinkable occurs. 

In addition, these fire alarms allow for annual testing and maintenance at a central unit on the ground, reducing the sometimes-costly efforts of reaching smoke alarms in high-ceiling locations. 

Photoelectric smoke detectors also offer earlier detection than other fire alarms, alerting occupants to the first signs of smoke. We can equip buildings of any size and complexity, scaling solutions as your needs change, and your business grows.

By connecting your alarms to our off-site central monitoring station, you’re guaranteed a quick response. Trained operators will immediately determine the level of the emergency and notify first responders if warranted.
