The nerve center of a fire alarm system is the Fire Alarm Control Panel, where building personnel and emergency responders are able to locate the source of an alarm, pinpoint trouble or supervisory conditions, silence alarms, and reset the system. We specialize in the installation, programming, service, and inspection of many panel types by diverse manufacturers.

A smoke detector is an active fire protection device, subject to stringent bounding, that detects airborne smoke and initiates an alarm, thereby alerting people to the danger of fire.
A fire alarm pull station is an active fire protection device, usually wall-mounted, that, when activated, initiates an alarm on a fire alarm system. In its simplest form, the user activates the alarm by pulling the handle down, which completes a circuit and locks the handle in the activated position, and sending an alarm to the fire alarm control panel. Fire alarm pull station are often reset using a key, which allows the handle to go back up to its normal position.
A fire alarm notification appliance is an active fire protection item. It is an electromechanical or electronic bell, klaxon, chime, horn, speaker, strobe light, or other device that warns people in a building of a possible fire or other condition requiring emergency evacuation.

Typical "wet" systems are simple and passive. They have water already pressurized in the pipes held back by the sprinkler head. These systems require no manual controls to activate, so long as adequate water supplies are provided.
Specialty systems called "dry" systems, designed for unheated spaces, have a low "maintenance" air pressure in the pipes. Water is fed into the system when the sprinkler "fuses" allowing the maintenance air pressure to reach the minimum pressure point.

In a preaction system, the pipe lines are precharged with pressurized air. Water is held from the piping by an electrically actuated solenoid. The solenoid is activated by an alarm signal and water is distributed to the site after a sprinkler is heat activated. If an alarm system detects smoke, for example, the valve opens to fill system piping with water. If temperatures rise, from an actual fire, the sprinkler bulb bursts to distribute water immediately. False alarms are minimized in a Preaction System by requiring two events to occur before the system is activated. Depending on setup, a sprinkler broken by accident will not trigger the system. It is also easily drained and reset if an alarm is activated.

FM-200, Inergen, and CO2 are all Clean Agent Gas Systems that replace Halon 1301. Each of these systems utilize a clean, non-corrosive gas, which is designed to extinguish fire. All are especially valuable where other extinguishing medias might damage stock or valuable equipment. These systems are most often used in computer, electrical, and telecommunication equipment rooms.
FM-200
Extinguishes Class A, B, and C fires by interrupting the chemical chain reaction. It also absorbs heat, thus accelerating the suppression process. This gas is safe to use in occupied spaces at concentrations up to 9% by volume. FM-200 will not deplete stratospheric ozone and it has a relatively short atmospheric lifetime of 31-42 years.
Inergen
Extinguishes Class A, B and C fires by removing enough oxygen from the air to break the fire chain, yet still allowing people to breathe comfortably. For Class A and B fires, the speeds of extinguishment have occurred in as little as 22 and 17 seconds respectively. Inergen is completely environmentally friendly. It is composed of naturally occurring gases already found in the air we breathe. It has zero ozone depletion, global warming, and atmospheric lifetime potential.
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)
The original "clean" agent, carbon dioxide suppresses fire without leaving behind an agent to damage sensitive equipment. Since there is no agent to clean up, you can be back in business faster.
Halon 1301
Halon is no longer installed. We do offer Halon refill and repair services for existing systems.

The ability of water-mist fire protection systems to suppress fires with minimal residual damage illustrates their remarkable potential as a versatile fire protection option. Water-mist is a satisfactory replacement for halon and carbon dioxide fire suppression systems. The deficiency in replacing chemical agents has lead to an increasing interest in fine water mists as fire suppressants since mists pose no adverse environmental or health issues. They meet the requirements of protecting both water- and weight-sensitive areas due to low total water flow requirements. Water mist technology has already been found effective for extinguishing fires in shipboard machinery, aircraft cabins, and computer rooms.

A restaurant fire suppression system is actuated by fusible links above the cooking appliances. The links melt at a particular temperature causing the agent to discharge. The piping system carrys the agent to nozzles located above the cooking appliances, in the plenum above the filters, and in the duct above the plenum. Depending on how the system is engineered, the gas may also be shut down. |

A portable fire extinguisher is a device to put out fires, often in an emergency situation. They consist of a pressurized container of chemicals that when discharged can put out a fire. It is important to familiarize yourself with the use of fire extinguishers in your vicinity, as improper or untimely use may be counterproductive.
