Fire Alarm Design
City and county fire marshals have specific regulations regarding the type and size of fire alarm systems and the required level of monitoring based on occupancy and size, construction type, and other permitting requirements. Compliance with these regulations is crucial for ensuring the safety of occupants, such as employees and customers. At ASD, we work closely with authorities, architects, and end-users to thoroughly evaluate code requirements to ensure proper compliance. Our fire alarm specialists consider your budget, building specifications, design aesthetics, and the environment to design the optimal alarm system for your property. Our meticulous approach helps you avoid unnecessary expenses while meeting the safety standards mandated by authorities having jurisdiction (AHJ).

Fire Alarm Testing, Inspection, & Maintenance
A working fire alarm system is crucial to alerting occupants and evacuating everyone promptly. This is why fire alarm systems must be inspected, tested, and maintained regularly to comply with the codes and regulations of local and/or state jurisdictions.

Fire Alarm Monitoring
Commercial fire alarm monitoring is a crucial investment for any business. It provides essential protection against devastating fires that can lead to loss of life, property damage, and financial loss. 24/7 monitoring helps expedite response time from local emergency agencies in the event of a fire. Every second counts during a fire, and having a trained operator monitor your fire alarm system can make all the difference.
Our fire alarm monitoring services track various events in your fire protection system. The alarm signals depend on the fire alarm monitoring system installed and can include:
- Fire alarm activation
- Fire sprinkler supervisory or activations
- Smoke, heat, or duct detector activation
- Power failures and low battery notifications
- Manual pull station activation
- Device maintenance alerts
- System trouble conditions
- And more!
Our team will notify the proper local authorities and business emergency contacts when a monitored event triggers an alarm.
