What We Do

      Large or even small fires can severely disrupt the production of a business and lives of those that depend on such a facility. Business records can be destroyed and a lack of production can force customers to seek products elsewhere. During the repair process, employees are usually laid off until the facility is completely rebuilt. Insurance may be insufficient to cover the fire damage leaving no alternative but to file for bankruptcy. Although the primary purpose of fire protection and fire prevention is to save lives, their subsequent purpose is to prevent and protect against environmental damage caused by a fire.

      The primary goal of any fire prevention program is to minimize or eliminate fire in a workplace or home. In any business, factory, school, office or industrial building there are fire prevention objectives that require the facility or office managers to attain.  Regardless of the size of a facility, a specific individual should always be responsible for the implementation a fire prevention program.

 

      The State of California requires that all businesses, hospitals, and schools abide by the minimum requirements set forth by the Health and Safety Code, Title 19. This specification establishes the minimum requirements necessary for periodic inspections, testing and maintenance of water based fire protection systems. The types of systems addressed by this specification shall include fire sprinklers, wet standpipes, dry standpipes, fire hoses, fixed water spray, foam systems, preaction systems, and deluge systems . Included are water supplies that are a part of these systems such as private fire service mains, fire pumps, water storage tanks, and valves controlling system flows. This specification applies to fire protection systems that have been properly installed in accordance with NFPA Standards or generally accepted practices.

 

      The purpose of a well maintained fire protection program is to provide a reasonable degree of integrity and performance for the protection of life and property from fire. The end result of a well maintained fire protection program is the protection, with a reasonable degree of integrity, of life and property from fire.
