Fire Alarm Companies Near Me in Berkeley, CA
Fireside Security is a licensed C-10 fire alarm, UL-Listed monitoring, access control, and video contractor local to Berkeley and Alameda County. Dispatched from our Hayward operations center.
Fireside Security serves Berkeley from our Hayward office, delivering engineered commercial fire alarm, UL-Listed monitoring, access control, and video surveillance under a single C-10 license. Berkeley's university adjacency, biotech, and dense historic commercial produce constant retrofit and upgrade scope.
Berkeley Fire Department sets the local plan-review and inspection cadence, and our project managers work with it directly — stamped submittals, coordinated shop drawings, and acceptance tests that pass on the first walk. Historic-district design and UC-adjacent biotech both live in our regular schedule here.
Every Berkeley project is monitored from our UL-Listed central station with LTE-M cellular paths, so your life-safety signaling doesn't depend on the copper POTS lines being retired in 2026.
Most Berkeley projects start with commercial fire alarm installation and typically fold in fire alarm inspection & testing, 24/7 ul listed fire alarm monitoring, and commercial access control systems for Alameda County properties.
