Protecting People, Protecting Property

Fire protection is about more than alarms and sprinklers. Fire protection is about safeguarding people and property. It’s about keeping your business, school, or organization in motion.

Solutions That Make Sense

When it comes to fire protection systems, you have options. Our team works with you to identify your fire protection performance objectives and develop solutions to match. Not sure what your facility needs? Our team can guide you through the decision-making process.

We’re fluent in today’s fire codes and standards, and we can help you understand what your facility needs for compliance. With our experience in a variety of settings, from historic buildings to research laboratories, we’re poised to make recommendations for systems that suit your space.

With two professional fire protection engineers on staff (both with their B.S. in Fire Protection Engineering from the University of Maryland), we also can complete projects where the jurisdiction or client requires an FPE.
