Fire alarm panels, smoke and heat detection, notification devices and 24/7 monitoring, installed and serviced by a local team. From new buildings and renovations to inherited systems that need attention.
Commercial fire protection is the fire alarm system that detects smoke, heat or sprinkler flow, sounds horns and strobes to get people out, and signals a monitoring center so the fire department is called. It also includes the inspection and service that keep the system working and ready for the fire marshal.
Turner Security installs, monitors, inspects and services commercial fire alarm systems for businesses in Middle Tennessee and the Chattanooga area, working with established fire alarm panel manufacturers and a UL-listed central station for monitoring.

What we handle
Fire alarm work from first plan to annual inspection
Every building is different. We start with the facility, how it is used and the system that is already there.
Fire alarm installation
New fire alarm panels, detectors, pull stations and notification devices for new construction, buildouts and replacements.
24/7 fire alarm monitoring
Alarm, supervisory and trouble signals are sent to a UL-listed central station that dispatches the fire department and notifies your contacts.
Inspection and testing
Scheduled inspection and testing of devices and panels, with documentation you can keep on file.
Service and repairs
Troubleshooting trouble signals, replacing failed devices and fixing the problems that cause false alarms.
Renovations and expansions
Adding or moving devices when you remodel, expand or change how a space is used.
Inherited and aging systems
Review of older panels and devices, with a clear answer on what can be kept, what needs repair and what should be replaced.
Why it matters
A fire alarm has one job, and it has to work every time
Fire alarms protect people first, and they are also what insurers and fire marshals look at. A system with ignored trouble lights, missed inspections or old devices puts both at risk.
Working with one local company for fire, security and cameras means fewer vendors, one service call and a team that already knows your building.

Common questions
Questions we hear a lot
How much does a commercial fire alarm system cost?
Cost depends on the size of the building, the number of devices, whether there is a sprinkler system to monitor, and whether existing wiring and devices can be reused. We review the facility and give you a written proposal with a clear price.
Do you monitor commercial fire alarms?
Yes. Fire alarm signals are sent to a UL-listed central station 24/7, which dispatches the fire department and notifies your contacts.
How often does a commercial fire alarm need to be inspected?
Most commercial fire alarm systems need inspection and testing at least once a year, and some devices more often, depending on fire code and your local fire marshal. We can help you set up a schedule that fits your building.
Can you service a fire alarm system someone else installed?
Often, yes. We review the existing panel and devices, fix what can be repaired and tell you clearly if any part of the system should be replaced.
Why does my fire alarm panel keep showing a trouble signal?
Trouble signals usually point to a failed device, a wiring problem, a low backup battery or a lost communication path to the monitoring center. Call us and we will troubleshoot it, often starting remotely.
Can my fire alarm and security system be handled by one company?
Yes. Turner Security installs and services fire alarms, intrusion alarms, cameras and access control, so one team knows your whole building.
