A commercial fire alarm system won’t prevent a fire from igniting, and it won’t slow it down, but it will give people the warning they need to evacuate the area. These moments matter and often mean the difference between life and death. These are the real benefits of a commercial fire alarm system. A Commercial Fire Alarm System is an Inexpensive Investment in Early Warning Installing a commercial fire alarm system in a new building runs roughly $2 per square foot of coverage area, and slightly more if the alarm is being installed as part of a retrofit.
