Friendly reminder! (And reason to celebrate - daylight is back in style!)

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)

With many newer smoke alarms featuring 10-year batteries, the messaging around smoke alarms and batteries has evolved.

As begins this Sunday, remember to adjust your clocks and check your smoke alarm batteries—only if needed.

Don't forget to test your alarms monthly.

If someone is in cardiac arrest, every minute counts.

Did you know that EMS often arrives in 8–12 minutes which is significant since survival drops each minute without defibrillation.

W&M Fire & Security's AED monitoring program ensures your unit is always ready — using the Stryker LIFEPAK CR2, which provides clear voice and visual prompts to guide anyone in lifesaving steps.

Paired with CPR, survival odds can TRIPLE.

How frustrating is it when the paperwork is wrong or incomplete? We get it.

At our work at W&M Fire & Security, a member of the DU Family of Companies, documentation is just as critical as the pipe, fittings, and equipment we install.

Whether you're designing, installing, inspecting, or maintaining systems, staying aligned with IBC/IFC requirements and NFPA 13/25 is essential—not just for compliance, but for protecting owners and the integrity of the system.

This article from NFSA breaks down the “paper trail” we all navigate and is a solid resource for anyone looking to tighten up their documentation process.

How many of these parts can you identify without the guide?(Not sure? Totally fine — our field leaders have you covered.)

What building owners should know is how often an electric fire pump needs to be inspected. Per NFPA 25, that’s a weekly churn test, monthly visual checks, and a full annual flow test to make sure your system has the pressure it needs.

A fire pump is the heart of your fire protection system — regular inspections keep you compliant, prevent costly breakdowns, and ensure the pump performs when it counts. Skipping inspections leads to failures, fines, and bigger bills later.

Preventative, compliant, safer.Inspections are a no-brainer.

Fire hydrant down, but not forgotten.

During a quarterly sprinkler inspection at a recent customer visit, our team spotted a damaged fire hydrant on site and immediately alerted the customer. Issues like this can easily go unnoticed when the snow piles on—but it's so important to get them fixed.

Our service department is now working with the customer to get this hydrant back in proper standing order, helping ensure their property remains protected year-round.

Protect your hydrants. Keep them clear. Help our firefighters. Save lives.

Inspections matter.
