Fire Alarm Companies Near Me in San Jose, CA

Fireside Security is a licensed C-10 fire alarm, UL-Listed monitoring, access control, and video contractor local to San Jose and Santa Clara County. Dispatched from our San Mateo operations center.

Fireside Security serves San Jose and the greater Silicon Valley from our San Mateo office. Our client base leans heavily on the enterprise side — R&D campuses, data centers, biotech, and Class-A office — where documentation and change control matter as much as the install itself.

San Jose Fire Department plan review is thorough. We deliver stamped, coordinated packages that don't come back for markup, and our acceptance tests are run against a documented sequence of operation so nothing is a surprise.

For enterprise clients standardizing on Ubiquiti UniFi, Genetec, or Avigilon across multiple buildings, we deliver a repeatable playbook that scales cleanly.

Most San Jose 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 Santa Clara County properties.

Do you pull fire alarm permits with the San Jose AHJ?
