Guardian Security provides fire alarm systems and 24 hour fire monitoring from the Central Station in Seattle.
Guardian Security's Fire Alarm division has been a cornerstone of our business
since the company was founded in 1976. For 25 years we've been at the forefront
of the design, installation and servicing of fire alarm systems here in the Pacific
Northwest. Our customers have included the regional FAA, Pierce County
Municipal Building, Puget Sound Environmental Learning Center, Children's
Hospital and the Seattle Art Museum.
Our engineers, designers, project managers and certified installation technicians
have a wealth of experience in delivering fire detection and alarm systems for
all types of buildings, businesses and needs. This experience can improve the
overall effectiveness of your fire protection program, reduce maintenance,
reduce running costs and extend your current capital investment well into
the future.
System Design Is Key
The key success factor for any fire protection system is its design. Fire protection
depends on the early identification of a developing fire, and on alerting the
occupants and emergency services.  Guardian Security designs and installs
systems that can also initiate automatic suppression systems and interface
with elevators, air handling, electrical and other special process operations.
Our system designs are tailored to the type of
business, building size, occupant level, the types
of fires that could develop, and the protection
needs of our clients.
Guardian Security specialists are fully certified and knowledgeable in national, state and
local fire safety codes, AHJ (authority having jurisdiction) rules, manufacturers'
specifications and installation requirements.
We Integrate Systems
Because we're skilled in all types of life and property protection systems, we can
design integrated systems that combine your fire system with intruder detection,
video security and access control systems in a single command and control center.
Our integrated systems provide a greater degree of protection and alarm verification.
Guardian Security has designed and installed some of the largest fire alarm and
integrated systems in the Pacific Northwest. At Fircrest, a fiber optic network links
40 separate buildings and multiple control panels to a dual command and control
station that monitors thousands of discrete detection and protection devices. And our
installation for the Grand Coulee Dam has over 10,000 functions and more than
1,100 addressable devices.
Guardian Security provides ongoing fire system testing
for the safety of you and your property, whether we've installed your system or not.
Guardian Security has a specially designed Fire System Confidence Testing
program that ensures your fire alarm system complies with all regulatory
requirements. We provide this program for systems that we have installed, as
well as for systems that have been installed or serviced by other companies.
This program provides our customers with the assurance that their fire alarm
system is operating at its maximum protection level. Customers also recognize
that a regularly scheduled maintenance program protects and extends the life
of their capital investment.
Improving Safety, Protecting Expenses
Fire alarm and life safety systems are subject to multiple regulatory guidelines
that specify the testing requirements for different types of industries, building
occupancy and types of fire systems. These guidelines vary and are dependent
on the local AHJ (authority having jurisdiction), as well as the equipment
manufacturers' specifications and the installation environment.
Guardian's Fire System Confidence Testing program is based on widely
recognized standards set by the National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72) and the
specific requirements mandated in each jurisdiction. Our detailed knowledge
of national, state and local codes, approved testing methods, and manufacturers'
specifications ensures full compliance
with the codes, and minimum disruption
to your operations.
Procedures And Peace Of Mind
Regular testing reduces possible false alarms that disrupt company productivity
and can impact alarm credibility levels. Most false alarms are the result of
inadequate maintenance, improper installation, or changes to your building.
Fire System Confidence Testing also reduces exposure to litigation, as we maintain
complete records of the systems we test, take care of the documentation, file
the required reports with the appropriate jurisdiction, and notify you if tests show
a need for service or maintenance.
