Atlanta’s emergency service technicians are trained to mitigate issues with fire alarms, sprinkler systems, kitchen suppression systems, and many other kinds.

Fire Extinguisher Service

Fire extinguishers are a critical line of defense against fires which can move quickly and may not immediately be detected by the other protection systems in place. Atlanta’s urban density is 3,685 people per square mile, meaning that the likelihood of fire-related incidents happening is considerable. Unfortunately, several large structural fires have occurred in recent times, causing tragic fatalities and injuries. It’s incredibly important that your workplaces and colleagues are prepared for action at all times—emergencies can break out in seconds. Before a fire sprinkler or suppression system is activated and emergency personnel can arrive, it’s important to educate your team on knowing where extinguishers are located and being ready to operate them in times of emergency. Pye-Barker’s fire extinguisher experts provide inspection, testing, maintenance and recharge to help you maintain code compliance and protect your people, even providing hands-on extinguisher and safety training in person. Preparation is key when it comes to guarding your business from the very real threat of fire.

Keep in mind that your fire protection must keep facilities covered and up-to-date in case of emergency. Risk Factor reports that there is a moderate risk of wildfire damage for 52,000 properties in the next 30 years—not to mention other common causes of fire such as electrical problems, gas leaks, and improperly maintained heating systems. When a fire occurs, noxious fumes can be released rapidly and leave occupants disoriented and in danger. Knowing the next steps is critical: your business’s fire detection and alarm systems must be prepared to alert those inside the facilities to evacuate and notify the fire department as soon as possible. Our team in Atlanta is ready to test, inspect, maintain, install, and design systems that help keep you safe and prepared for risk. We provide the following services so you can be prepared for the worst and continue putting the best foot forward.

Fire Sprinklers

Fire Sprinklers are proven to greatly reduce risk in fire emergencies. A properly functioning fire sprinkler or suppression system fights the spread of fires in their early stages to mitigate devastating threats to people and property. It is imperative that your fire sprinkler system is ready. Pye-Barker technicians perform regular testing, inspections, repairs, and upgrades to save lives and protect property, also keeping systems up to federal code. Corrosion and debris can block the water supply and leave your system inoperable when needed most. Federal guidelines mandate that fire sprinkler systems are properly serviced and maintained, as they are critical to reducing risk for people and property.

Life Safety Equipment

The best life safety equipment is out of the way of your normal day but conveniently located so that you and your team can use it in case of emergency. We can help supply your business with the necessary tools, including pull stations and covers for fire alarms, emergency exit signs and lighting, defibrillators for sudden cardiac events, and carbon monoxide detection which alerts the proper support systems and notifies anyone in the facilities to escape potential danger. Contact us and we’ll help you assess ways to prepare you and your business for the chance that a life-threatening event occurs.

Mass Notification Systems

When a threat occurs, it is critical that you are prepared to communicate the necessary details as soon as possible to each person on the site. Every second counts in the event a fire breaks out, inclement weather rolls in, or an attacker or intruder arrives at your business. According to the 2023 annual report published by the Atlanta Police Department, almost one million calls reached the 911 responders department in Atlanta, and the average answer time was 24 seconds—when it comes to emergencies, it is crucial that you are prepared to act as soon as possible.
