Commercial fire & security systems in South San Francisco

Licensed C-10 fire alarm, UL-Listed monitoring, access control, and video for South San Francisco and San Mateo County. Nearest office: San Mateo.

Fireside Security serves South San Francisco from our San Mateo office, delivering engineered commercial fire alarm, UL-Listed monitoring, access control, and video surveillance under a single C-10 license. South San Francisco's East of 101 biotech corridor is the densest life-sciences market in the world — and one of the most demanding for engineered life safety.

South San Francisco 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. Lab-hazard classification, monitored freezer alarms, clean-agent release, and BSL-2/3 access control are default scope on East of 101 projects.

Every South San Francisco 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 South San Francisco 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 San Mateo County properties.
