Fire alarm services for facility directors and managers

Built for facilities that cannot shut down

Schools, municipal buildings, healthcare and assisted living facilities, corporate campuses, labs and distribution centers have one thing in common: the fire alarm system has to be tested and maintained without disrupting the people inside. ISTFIRE plans inspections, repairs and upgrades around your operations and keeps the building protected while we work.

What you get

• Inspection and testing calendars built around school schedules, shifts and occupancy
• Written NFPA 72 reports and deficiency records for fire officials, insurers and internal audits
• Impairment procedures coordinated with the fire official when a system has to come out of service
• Interfaces tested end to end: elevator recall, HVAC and smoke control, door holders and sprinkler supervision
• Legacy and discontinued parts sourced to keep older systems in full operation
• Service on systems from many manufacturers, including systems installed by others
• One team that keeps the full service history of your systems

Planning for aging panels

Many facilities run fire alarm panels and devices that are decades old, with replacement parts no longer available through normal supply channels. ISTFIRE sources legacy and discontinued equipment to restore these systems to full operation, so an upgrade can be planned on your schedule rather than forced by a failure.

When replacement is the right course, we assess the system and lay out the options, from replacing the control panel while reusing compatible wiring and devices to a full replacement in phases, with budget pricing for your capital plan.

Detection suited to the space

Gymnasiums, warehouses, labs, kitchens, parking areas and data rooms do not always suit standard smoke detectors. We design and service systems with detection chosen for the environment, including duct, beam and linear heat detection.

Public facilities

For counties, municipalities, school districts and housing authorities, ISTFIRE is NJ SBE certified and a registered New Jersey Public Works Contractor, and works within public bidding, prevailing wage and certified payroll requirements. See the government page for contracting details.
