Fire Alarm Solutions
We engineer compliant fire alarm solutions that protect lives, secure property, and meet the strict standards of local Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
Compliance without Complexity
A fire alarm system is not just a building code requirement; it is the critical infrastructure that protects your people and your assets. DSC navigates the complex landscape of NFPA codes and local fire marshal amendments to deliver systems that work. From design and permitting to final acceptance testing, we ensure your system is installed correctly, preventing the false alarms and "Red Tags" that disrupt your business.
Engineered for Your Environment
Fire protection is not one-size-fits-all. We tailor our life safety designs to address the specific occupancy risks and evacuation challenges of your facility.
Commercial & High-Rise
Complex Evacuation
High-occupancy buildings require more than simple bells and sirens. We design sophisticated voice evacuation systems that manage phased exiting strategies, elevator recall, and smoke control integration, ensuring orderly movement during an emergency in multi-story environments.
Education & Campus
Campus Connectivity
Protecting sprawling campuses requires networked intelligence. We deploy distributed control panels linked via fiber optics to provide a unified view of the entire property. Our systems often integrate with mass notification platforms to deliver clear, intelligible audio instructions to students and staff during any crisis.
Industrial & Warehousing
Challenging Environments
Standard smoke detectors fail in the dusty, high-ceiling environments of industrial facilities. We utilize specialized detection technology—such as projected beam detectors and air sampling aspirating systems—to ensure rapid detection in large-volume spaces without the nuisance of false alarms.
Core Capabilities
We build life safety ecosystems on three pillars: intelligent detection, robust control platforms, and intelligible voice communication.
Smart & Multi-Criteria
Modern fire safety relies on accuracy. We install "Multi-Criteria" detectors that analyze smoke, heat, and CO levels simultaneously to distinguish a real fire from steam or dust. By utilizing addressable devices, our systems pinpoint the exact location of a threat, allowing first responders to react faster and more effectively.
Siemens, Honeywell & Edwards
The control panel is the brain of your life safety system. As a factory-authorized integrator, we deploy the industry's most trusted platforms—Siemens Cerberus PRO, Honeywell (Gamewell-FCI & Farenhyt), and Edwards EST4. Whether you need a standalone panel for a retail store or a networked enterprise solution, we have the right hardware to meet your specifications.
Voice Evacuation
In an emergency, clarity saves lives. We replace disorienting horns with Voice Evacuation systems that deliver spoken instructions. These systems allow authorized personnel to override automated messages and provide real-time direction, reducing panic and ensuring occupants know exactly where to go.
System Assurance
A fire alarm system is only valuable if it works when it counts. We provide the ongoing support necessary to satisfy fire marshals and insurance carriers, ensuring your system remains compliant year after year.

Service & Maintenance Support
Service & Repair - Equipment failure is inevitable, but prolonged downtime is not. We provide responsive local support to troubleshoot and repair hardware issues as they arise. Through our service agreements, you gain priority scheduling and predictable costs, ensuring that whether it is a dirty sensor or a lightning-damaged panel, our fleet is ready to restore your system to full functionality.
-
24/7 Monitoring
Central Station Monitoring - When a fire starts, seconds matter. Our UL-Listed central station monitoring ensures that your facility is watched 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If a smoke detector activates or a sprinkler flows, we instantly dispatch local fire authorities and notify your key personnel, protecting your building even when it is empty.
-
Inspection Services
Compliance & Testing - Local fire codes require rigorous annual testing of your life safety systems. Our licensed inspectors test every device—pulling stations, blowing smoke into detectors, and verifying battery backups—to ensure operation. We provide the detailed documentation and "Green Tags" required by the Fire Marshal to keep your doors open.
