Each system in a New York City building has its own code requirements, filings, tests and failure points. Cross-Fire designs, installs, tests, services and monitors all of them, so one team is accountable for the whole building instead of a different vendor for each system.

Frequently asked questions
How often do fire alarm systems need to be tested in New York City?
At least once a year, with some components on more frequent schedules, under the NYC Fire Code and NFPA 72. We track each system and book the work before it comes due.
Can you work on systems another contractor installed?
Yes. We start with a survey and baseline test so we know exactly what's in place, then put every system on a regular testing and maintenance schedule.
Do you install new systems as well as service them?
Yes. We design and install new systems and upgrade existing ones, in addition to testing, servicing and monitoring them.
Not sure what your building needs?
We'll review what's installed and give you a clear picture of what's due and what needs attention.
