First Alarm is a locally owned and operated, full-service security and life safety solutions provider with the sole focus of helping to keep people, places, and assets safe and secure. It was founded under the principles of integrity, hard work, and the conscientious, relentless pursuit of the right combination in security system design and service for each customer – regardless of project size or
budget. The company’s convictions and mission are as important and relevant today as they were when the company was founded by San Francisco Bay area native Jarl Saal 50 years ago: Every individual – from its employees to prospects and customers – is equally important, and the company’s purpose is to enhance the quality of life and safety of those it serves. From its UL-certified, secure Central Monitoring Station at its corporate headquarters in Aptos, Calif., First Alarm continuously monitors its sophisticated systems 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days/year. Incoming calls are immediately answered by live CMS operators who see and assess what’s happening in real-time and take the action necessary to resolve security breaches on the fly. Currently, First Alarm serves people, businesses, and institutions in 11 Northern California counties, and the company’s markets include Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Governmental, Retail, Agricultural, and Financial and Educational Institutions. First Alarm’s security services include customer-collaborative design and consultation, installation, maintenance, test and inspection, and event monitoring. Our products include devices and systems for access control, camera and video-surveillance, and intrusion and fire alarms. All First Alarm security solutions provide multiple layers of protection.
