Commercial Fire Alarm Installation
NFPA 72–compliant fire alarm design and installation for commercial and multi-tenant properties across California.
Overview
Fireside Security designs, permits, and installs commercial fire alarm systems for property owners, general contractors, and facility teams throughout California. Every project is engineered to the current edition of NFPA 72, the California Fire Code, and the Authority Having Jurisdiction's local amendments.
Our C-10 fire life-safety technicians work with all major addressable and conventional platforms — Notifier, Fire-Lite, Silent Knight, Honeywell, and Potter — so we specify the right panel for your occupancy, not the one we happen to stock.
From single-tenant retail buildouts to campus-wide upgrades in healthcare, manufacturing, and logistics, we deliver stamped drawings, permit submittals, code-compliant installation, and turnover documentation your fire marshal will accept the first time.

Our process
Predictable from survey to sign-off
01 · Site Survey
A senior technician walks the facility, reviews existing documentation, and identifies scope, occupancy classification, and code triggers.
02 · Engineering & Permit
Stamped drawings and calculations submitted to the local fire authority. We manage revisions until permit is issued.
03 · Installation
Licensed field technicians install devices, wiring, and panels with clean, labeled terminations and full riser documentation.
04 · Test & Turnover
Pre-test, AHJ acceptance test, and complete turnover packet: as-builts, device inventory, and a scheduled maintenance plan.
Frequently asked
Do you pull permits and coordinate with the fire marshal?
Yes. All commercial fire alarm work is designed under our C-10 license, submitted for permit, and delivered inspection-ready. We coordinate directly with the AHJ from plan review through acceptance test.
Which fire alarm panels do you install?
We are factory-trained on Notifier, Fire-Lite, Silent Knight, Honeywell, Edwards/EST, Potter, and Gamewell-FCI. Panel selection is driven by occupancy, budget, and service life — not vendor preference.
Can you replace an existing legacy fire alarm panel?
Yes. Upgrades, replacements, and expansions are a large part of our work. We assess the existing wiring and devices for reuse and provide a phased migration plan so life-safety coverage is never interrupted.
