Fire Alarms & Inspection
In case of a fire, we have you covered.
We will design a custom system per NFPA codes to make sure you have complete coverage for your business and employees.
We work closely with the Fire Marshal’s Office to ensure your building passes inspection the first time.
THINGS TO KNOW
The NFPA requires that monitored fire alarms are inspected at least annually. Non-monitored systems should be inspected every six months.
If your business is located inside the Houston City limits, you are required to have a fire alarm monitoring permit. You can get these permits from www.houstontx.gov/fire/business/firealarmpermit .

Class A extinguishers are for ordinary combustable materials such as wood, paper, cardboard, and most plastics. The numerical rating indicates the amount of water it holds and the amount of fire it can extinguish.
