As a Jacksonville fire alarm company, we work really, really hard to bring the best Fire & Life Safety solutions available to our clients. We wanted to share with you the great experience one of our clients had while working with DynaFire.
When you’re looking for a Jacksonville fire alarm company, you need one that gets the job done. We’re going to share a recent project that we handled for a client that we feel is a prime example of the service you can expect from DynaFire. While we’re not always ones to pat ourselves on the back, we can say that after you hear this story, you’ll be calling us up to provide your next Fire & Life Safety service.
The Backstory
In a recent weather-related incident, our client’s property sustained a lightning strike. In case you didn’t know, a single lightning strike is about 300 million Volts, or 30,000 Amps. In comparison, a residential electrical current is 120 Volts or 15 Amps (put that fun fact away for your next trivia night).
When lightning struck our client’s building, this overload of electricity fried their fire alarm panel beyond repair – and as a Jacksonville fire alarm company, we took this personally. The fire alarm panel is critical to the function of any fire alarm system, so we knew we had to get to work.
The Next Steps
When a building has no fire alarm panel, its alarm system is non-functional, meaning that if a fire were to occur there would be no alarm to
notify building occupants or the fire department. What’s the alternative? A 24-hour fire watch. If you’re not familiar with a fire watch, the NFPA 101 Life Safety Code defines it as assigning one or more persons to do the following:
- Notify the fire department of an emergency
- Notify building occupants of an emergency
- Prevent a fire from occurring
- Extinguish small fires
This is obviously not an ideal situation, and can quickly become frustrating to building occupants and property owners. Luckily, this property owner did the smart thing and called up DynaFire.
What We Did
Your average, run-of-the-mill Jacksonville fire alarm company might leave you hanging for a few days before they could get a replacement fire panel installed, but not DynaFire. Our experts teamed up across departments to have a brand new fire alarm panel not only delivered to the property, but installed and functioning less than 24 hours after the initial incident.
We know, less than 24 hour turnaround on a new fire alarm panel is pretty much unheard of, but with the level of service excellence that our team at DynaFire shows every day, we have to admit we aren’t too surprised. After all, same-day or next-day fire protection is our guarantee.
