Fire Station Alerting Systems
IP-based fire station alerting, dispatch integration, dorm and bay alerting, and PA/lighting control.
Overview
Fire Station Alerting is a specialty. Fireside Security designs and installs IP-based station alerting systems that reduce turnout time, protect responder health, and integrate cleanly with modern CAD dispatch.
We deliver bunk-room alerting with ramp-up lighting, tone-controlled paging, apparatus bay indicators, and full call-history logging.

Frequently asked
Does the alerting system integrate with our CAD?
Yes. We support the major CAD platforms and can bridge legacy systems with a middleware appliance where needed.
Can you retrofit an existing station?
Yes. Most of our alerting projects are retrofits — done in phases without taking the station out of service.
