Fox Valley Fire & Safety

NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm Code) sets the established installation standard for fire alarm systems. Make sure you are working.

Since 1960, Fox Valley Fire & Safety has been focused on meeting the needs of our customers. The two founders of our company began working out of a basement, with one truck selling fire extinguishers and servicing them onsite. From these humble beginnings, we now have over 100 service vehicles and more than 250 employees working out of our modern 46,000 sq.ft. In 1997 the founders retired and sold the majority of the company to a group of five managers, all of whom had between 20 to 36 years of dedicated service with Fox Valley Fire & Safety.

It is recommended that Dry Fire Sprinkler Systems Inspections be performed when temperatures are 40 F or above. Our Technician will test and inspect each Dry Fire Sprinkler system. This service will include a partial trip test annually and a full flow trip test once every 3 years. All alarm devices will be tested for proper operation and all low point drains will be drained. All sprinkler heads will be checked to assure proper type, placement and coverage. Additionally, we will check for damaged, out of date or painted heads.

Our technician will inspect the fire suppression panel and batteries. We will test the control heads, abort switches, pull stations, fan relay shutdowns, dampers, horns, bells, etc. We will clean and calibrate smoke detectors, verify positioning of nozzles for proper protection. Our technician will then survey the room to be sure it is properly sealed. This is vital in order to ensure the agent is contained within the room when the system has been activated. The system tag will be updated with the month and year of the inspection and an Engineered System Service and Inspection Report will be sent to you.

When fire strikes and seconds count the fire alarm system springs into action, instantly alerting building occupants and authorities of the danger. This allows quick evacuation of the area and the prompt arrival of emergency personnel to the scene. As a State of Illinois licensed fire alarm contractor, and Notifier Premier distributor, Fox Valley Fire & Safety is your partner in fire and life safety. Along with installation of new fire alarm systems, we service, inspect, repair, maintain and monitor fire alarm systems of all the major manufacturers.
