Sprinkler Systems
Sprinkler systems are crucial when it comes to fire protection, as they are specifically designed to protect life and property in these situations. The primary goal of combating a fire is to contain and minimize it. When triggered, a sprinkler system can quickly respond to heat, giving it the ability to control a fire before a fire department arrives on the scene. This system comes in various types, and can be installed in residential, commercial, industrial or specialized buildings. Our team is experienced with every option. We’ll sit down with you and figure out which sprinkler system will be the most effective in regards to safety and future maintenance.
Fire Alarm Systems
A fire alarm system provides you with an initial warning of danger. It can take on many different forms, but main takeaway is that you’ll be alerted of a fire. Having a fire alarm system in place is imperative, because it will send signals to nearby facilities that react to these emergency situations, which dispatches first responders. They can also detect any potential problems that may occur through general monitoring. By employing our own electrical department, we can safely program, test and certify the system. AFPS only installs non-proprietary systems. In addition to fire alarm systems, we also install, inspect, test, repair and service to all types of fire pumps.
Fire Hydrants and Underground Utility
Sprinkler systems have specific requirements, and we can help you upgrade to meet them. Through our wealth of experience, we can tap into water supplies, install underground mains and pumps, replace valves, manage fire hydrants, service post indicator valves and install underground electrical duct banks.
Fire Extinguishers
If you’re caught in the midst of a fire, an extinguisher will be one of the first tools you seek out. While you always see fire extinguishers in buildings, there are actually different types designed to fight specific fires. There are five separate classes that categorize fires, based off of type and scale. This class system helps identify which extinguisher is appropriate to use. The follow types of extinguishers will help you in a crisis situation:
- Water and Foam
- Carbon Dioxide
- Dry Chemical
- Wet Chemical
- Halogenated or Clean Agent
- Dry Powder
- Water Mist
- Cartridge Operate Dry Chemical
AFPS provides full service to fire extinguishers, and we also offer the option of training for proper use.
Inspection And Testing
With any device or system, efficiency relies on proper maintenance and testing. Without these two factors, you’re taking a calculated risk. Proper inspection can ultimately save lives, which is really the point of it all. Safety is the goal. You can also eliminate unwanted service visits due to a malfunction, since we can quickly fix any minor issues during inspection. We also make sure to maintain a consistent schedule for you, taking away any possible hassle on your end. With the right inspection and testing methods, you’re effectively minimizing risk.

We are here for you, and that is evident in our service and maintenance practices. A fire is never a situation you want to be in, so it’s smart to always be prepared. Through maintenance, we have the ability to detect a problem before it actually becomes a serious problem.

24/7 Monitoring
In our systems, 24/7 monitoring plays a key role. When the fire alarm system is triggered, it sends a signal to a nearby monitoring station. An emergency event is registered on your fire control panel and the authorities are quickly alerted.
