How We Keep You Safe: Fire Inspections Services from Communication Company
All businesses have a responsibility to their employees, customers, and the general public to maintain a safe working environment. Life safety systems are a key part of any business's fire prevention plan. That's why Communication Company offers comprehensive fire inspection services for all types of businesses. From fire alarm systems to extinguishers and sprinkler systems, we make sure your business is up to code and compliant with all local regulations.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), “Local fire departments responded to 1,353,500 fires in 2021. These fires caused 3,800 civilian deaths, 14,700 civilian injuries and $15.9 billion in property damage.”
While the death toll and destruction of property are tragic enough, companies also face loss of reputation in the aftermath of a fire. Just think of some of the most well-known corporate fires in recent history: the 2008 Imperial Sugar refinery explosion in Port Wentworth, Georgia; the Dhaka Tasreen Fashions fire in Bangladesh that killed at least 112 people; the 1988 PEPCON disaster in Henderson, Nevada, in which a fire and subsequent explosions killed two people and injured 372, with an estimated $100 million in damage — the list goes on. In each instance, the blaze made headlines around the world and permanently marred the business’s reputations.
Business owners can’t afford to let their guard down when it comes to fire safety. That’s where our fire inspection services come in. We offer NFPA code conformance testing, inspections and strategic consultations for any life safety system. Read on to learn more about what our inspection services include and how they can benefit commercial-industrial settings.

Our Complete Services
Fire Alarm Inspections for All Manufacturers
One of our primary services is fire alarm testing and inspections for all manufacturers. It’s critical that businesses have up-to-date information on their alarm systems so they can be confident they’ll work as intended in the event of a fire. That’s why we inspect all manner of alarm systems, from those designed for small businesses to large, multi-site, commercial industrial clients. No matter what kind of system you have, we will thoroughly inspect it to ensure it is compliant with NFPA code and up to date.
Wet & Dry Fire Sprinkler Inspections with Backflow Preventer
In addition to alarms, sprinkler systems are essential for extinguishing fires before they have a chance to spread throughout a building. We offer wet and dry fire sprinkler inspections with backflow preventer testing as part of our comprehensive inspection services. We will check your entire sprinkler system — from the water supply to the nozzles — to ensure it is properly pressurized and able to deliver water quickly and efficiently in the event of a fire.
Fire Pump Testing & Inspections
Fire pumps are a crucial part of any sprinkler system, providing the water pressure needed to activate the sprinklers in the event of a fire. We test and inspect all types of fire pumps to ensure they are operating correctly and can provide adequate water pressure in the event of an emergency.
Fire Extinguisher Inspections/Hydrostatic Testing/Six-Year Maintenance/Recharge
We offer annual inspections for all types of fire extinguishers, as well as hydrostatic testing, six-year maintenance and recharge services. Our extinguisher inspection services help ensure your extinguishers are always in good working condition so you can put out a fire quickly if one should break out on your property.
Extended Warranty Available for Siemens Fire Safety Components
We understand business owners are always looking for ways to cut costs without compromising on quality or safety. That’s why we offer an extended warranty on Siemens fire safety components — so you can rest assured your expensive equipment is covered in case of an unforeseen problem.

Our total system test and inspection includes all of the above services plus smoke detector sensitivity verification and third-party service availability checks — so you can be certain each single element of your fire safety system is up to par.
