Every year fire departments in the United States respond to approximately 3,520 structure fires in motels and hotels. While they make up a small percent of overall structure fires in the nation, that’s still a significant number and costs millions of dollars in property damage. So, hotel and motel fire alarms and maintenance are critical because of the large numbers of people staying on these properties.

Choosing a security integrator is an important process because you aren’t just purchasing a fire alarm system; there is an ongoing relationship with that company. You’re putting the lives of the people on your campus or in your business in someone else’s hands. So, what can you expect after you purchase a fire alarm system?
