Sacramento fire protection
An owner-operated alternative for the Sacramento region.
Fire sprinkler inspections, kitchen hood suppression service and hydrant testing for Sacramento, Roseville, Elk Grove, Folsom and the surrounding suburbs, with flat-rate pricing and no long-term contracts.
Sacramento Valley
Big-city coverage without big-company billing.
The Sacramento market is dominated by large regional and national fire companies. That works for some properties. But if you're tired of rotating technicians, multi-year contracts and invoices with surprise line items, there's a better way.
With First Response, the licensed owner quotes your job, does the work and signs your report, at a flat rate you approve before anyone shows up.

Why hire a Fairfield company for Sacramento work?
Fairfield is about 45 minutes from downtown Sacramento. You get an owner-operator's pricing and attention instead of a big regional company's overhead, and there's no travel charge.
Do you service large apartment complexes and warehouses?
Yes. Multi-building apartment communities and distribution warehouses along the I-5 and I-80 corridors are a great fit. We'll build a single schedule that covers every riser and hydrant on the property.
Can you handle a restaurant group with several locations?
Yes. We'll put all your locations on one semi-annual schedule with consistent pricing and paperwork.
