Commercial Fire Alarm Systems Built for Protection

Protecting property, employees and inventory is critical to business owners and commercial real estate managers. At Citywide Solutions, we offer comprehensive commercial fire alarm systems built around the needs of our customers, with custom designed and installed solutions that ensure a building is monitored 24/7 from smoke and flame. Our systems not only help you stay code-compliant but also provide peace-of-mind with early fire detection and rapid response.

Expert Design and Installation of Commercial Fire Alarm Systems

Whether you run a data center with highly sensitive equipment or a retail store with thousands of dollars in inventory – your protection needs are unique. We custom design commercial fire alarm systems that meet the codes in your area while also looking at the unique needs of your business and building. Our trained and certified technicians understand the intricacies of national, state and local fire codes for fire alarm systems for commercial buildings, including NFPA and OFC. They also know how to look for trouble-spots in a building: areas where smoke can otherwise go undetected, ensuring that smoke detectors and heat detectors are strategically placed. Coupled with our early warning monitoring, Citywide Solutions commercial fire monitoring systems have you covered.

New Builds or Retrofit

We provide professional fire alarm installation services for new construction projects, building renovations, and upgrades to existing or older building systems and equipment. We’ll work with you throughout the design, construction or renovation process, or do a walkthrough of your building, to recommend a system for your space. Then we’ll install a non-proprietary system of equipment. This allows you to avoid being locked into costly, brand-specific service contracts.

24/7 Fire Alarm Monitoring and Maintenance Services

After install, we’re still by your side. We offer cost effective annual or biannual inspections along with monitoring with a UL Listed central station. This monitoring provides you with early warnings and immediate emergency response to keep your business safe. As a full-service security and property protection provider, we can also couple fire protection monitoring with burglary and access monitoring. This one-stop solution allows you to streamline service and maintenance, often lowering your overall costs and adding an extra layer of protection for your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should my commercial fire alarm system be inspected?
We recommend at least an annual inspection of your equipment; however, some municipalities require biannual inspections. We’ll work with you to determine what your local fire department requires and set up a schedule that meets your needs. We’ll also file any necessary paperwork required to keep you code compliant, ensuring superior protection for your property.

What are the benefits of using a non-proprietary fire alarm system for commercial buildings?
In a word: flexibility. A non-proprietary fire alarm system is one that includes equipment from various manufacturers, meaning it can be designed and installed around your needs – not around the equipment with a security company’s name on it. A non-proprietary fire alarm system can be serviced and monitored by a variety of service providers, giving you more options in terms of cost, maintenance and overall support.

Does Citywide Solutions provide 24/7 commercial fire alarm monitoring services?
Yes. In addition to fire alarm monitoring, we can also provide overall security system installation and monitoring. By using us as your single-source security and fire-protection partner, you streamline all service and billing on your monitoring and equipment. With central monitoring stations, we ensure quick and effective emergency response in critical situations.

Can I integrate my commercial fire alarm system with other security systems? 
With Citywide Solutions you can. We are experts in both fire protection and security monitoring. We can design a total system that keeps your property, people, and possessions secure. Our systems provide maximum protection by integrating key essential components such as fire alarms, intrusion detection, and access control into a unified platform tailored to your building characteristics.

What fire safety codes do your systems comply with? 
Fire alarm systems for commercial buildings have unique service and maintenance needs. As a certified fire alarm installer and service provider in the State of Ohio, we comply with the Ohio Fire Code (OFC). The OFC is overseen by the Ohio Department of Commerce and helps safeguard life and property by establishing a minimum standard for fire safety in the state.

What should I expect during the annual fire alarm inspection?  Depending on the regulations in your area, your local fire department will require at least an annual inspection of your equipment. We’ll coordinate with your maintenance team and your local fire department to schedule this inspection. We’ll test all of the fire alarm devices in your building in a way that has a minimal impact on your business’s daily operations.
