The Worst Fire Conditions Demands the Best Expertise
Record highs coupled with one of the worst droughts in state history makes for some of the most dangerous conditions ever seen. Fire Protection Group is on the scene to help.
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California is breaking records, but not in a way anyone would like. A severe drought, three years in the making, is currently wreaking havoc on California's eco system and water supply. According to the National Climactic Data Center, the state is experiencing the least amount of rainfall in 119 years. To make matters worse, 2014 has so far been the hottest year in California since 1895. With 100% of the state now in drought conditions, and over 58% in "exceptional drought" (the worst level), fire conditions are arguably worse than they've ever been. In such extreme times, fire safety couldn't be more important, and demands the highest level of expertise. The experts at Fire Protection Group have unrivaled knowledge and experience in their field to provide property owners and managers the peace of mind they need during such dangerous conditions.
Unrelenting dry, hot weather continues to be extremely problematic throughout California. As a result, the state has experienced 1000 more instances of wildfires than the average. Further still, high temperatures and drought don't only pose a risk to wildlife areas. Towns and urban centers are also at an increased risk for fire damage. Residents need to ensure they are taking necessary steps for their safety by maintaining buildings that are up to fire codes and state standards.
Though all buildings have to pass fire inspection, different styles of buildings have different requirements, and must adhere to varying guidelines. For a building owner to guarantee that a building is code compliant, they should first employ a certified contractor who can perform inspections, test equipment, and make any necessary recommendations. The choice for a contractor should be simple: they should be the best. Fire Protection Group's expertise is much more than a claim. Boasting over 200 years of combined experience, their team includes Al Hernandez who is a former chief of the Los Angeles Fire department.
In fire protection, expertise is as much about experience as it is knowledge. Building owners must make sure their fire control systems are appropriate for the scale of their operation. Many contractors are experienced with certain building types, but at Fire Protection Group, inspectors and engineers are more than familiar and comfortable with any structure, from commercial high rises, to medical facilities, to small storefronts. Lead engineer George Saadian, in addition to writing fire codes himself, has developed fire control systems for every building variety. His contracts have ranged from Warner Brothers to NASA, and his dedicated team are the very best when it comes to the design and installation of custom fire control equipment.
Such a hazardous time for fires calls for service from the very best in fire safety. Rely on the seasoned veterans at Fire Protection Group to make sure your building is safe, up to code, and protected with the highest quality of equipment available. Whether the need is for alarm systems, fire pumps, stand pipes, sprinklers, or extinguishers, their team will handle supply, installation, inspection, and even monitoring to guarantee that your protection never stops.
