Fire Alarm Inspection & Testing for San Francisco properties

California commercial properties are required to have their fire alarm systems inspected and tested by a qualified contractor on a defined schedule under NFPA 72 and the California Fire Code. Fireside Security performs annual, semi-annual, and quarterly inspections on every major fire alarm platform.

Every inspection is delivered with an AHJ-formatted report, device-level test records, and documented deficiencies with recommended remediation — so your fire marshal receives exactly what they expect and your risk manager has a defensible record.

We inspect standalone panels, networked buildings, and multi-building campuses across healthcare, education, manufacturing, warehouse, hospitality, and property management portfolios.

San Francisco fire alarm inspection & testing — local context

Fireside Security serves San Francisco from our Peninsula office in San Mateo. We design and install commercial fire alarm, elevator phone monitoring, access control, and video for the city's dense office, biotech, hospitality, and multi-tenant residential portfolios.

SFFD Bureau of Fire Prevention and DBI plan review are unforgiving. Our permit packages arrive complete, our device counts match the drawings, and our acceptance tests pass without callbacks.

We're also the natural partner for POTS-line migration on SF elevators — most cabs in the city still rely on retiring copper, and the migration window is short.
