Life safety equipment plays a vital role in protecting building occupants during emergencies. Pye-Barker Fire & Safety provides comprehensive life safety equipment services, including inspection, testing, maintenance, and replacement to help facilities meet code requirements and remain compliant. From emergency lighting and exit signs to fire extinguishers and occupant notification devices, our solutions are designed to support safe evacuation, reliable operation, and long-term life safety performance across commercial and industrial environments.
Pull Stations and Protective Covers
Manual pull stations and protective covers play a critical role in initiating emergency response and preventing accidental or malicious activation. Proper installation, inspection, and maintenance ensure pull stations remain accessible, functional, and code compliant. Regularly serviced pull stations support fast occupant notification and reliable alarm activation during emergencies.
Emergency Lighting and Exit Signs
Emergency lighting and exit signs guide occupants to safety during power loss, fire events, or other emergencies. Routine inspection and testing ensure visibility, battery performance, and proper illumination when normal lighting fails. Reliable exit signage is essential for safe evacuation and ongoing compliance with life safety codes.
AED/Defibrillator Equipment
Automated external defibrillators provide immediate, lifesaving response during cardiac emergencies. Proper placement, inspection, and maintenance ensure AEDs are accessible, charged, and ready for use. Maintaining AED readiness helps facilities protect occupants and support emergency preparedness programs.
Carbon Monoxide Detection Systems
Carbon monoxide detection systems provide early warning of dangerous gas buildup that can occur without visible signs. Regular testing and maintenance help ensure detectors activate properly and alert occupants before conditions become life threatening. Effective CO detection is essential for protecting occupants and supporting code compliance in residential and commercial facilities.
