A Fire Detection system can add the secondary benefit of providing a much earlier warning of a fire when compared to buildings protected exclusively by a sprinkler system.
Fire & Life Safety America sells, installs, services, and monitors fire alarm and detection systems, clean agent fire suppression systems, and other special hazard suppression systems. Our fire protection systems protect lives and property in a variety of facilities including, but not limited to, military installations, food processing and storage facilities, plywood and paper mills, hospitals, residential complexes, railroad transportation systems and even the new National Audio Visual Conservation Center in northern Virginia.
FLSA uses state of the art suppression and detection systems to meet your life safety needs. Our product line includes Ansul, Chemetron, FIKE, Gamewell/FCI, ProtectoWire, Vesda Air Sampling, Spectrex Flame Detection, and other manufacturers as specifically required.
