Fire Protection Group's Al Hernandez Believes in Home Sprinklers

Al Hernandez was personally picked by George Saadian, general manager and lead engineer of Fire Protection Group, to serve as a Chief Consultant. With 32 years of experience as a firefighter with the LAFD and serving as Assistant Fire Marshal, Al Hernandez brings invaluable knowledge to the FPG team. One of his many passions in the realm of fire protection is his belief in residential fire sprinkler systems.

In an interview with Best Deals TV Show, Mr. Hernandez had this to say: "Response times are an issue with all fire departments. They have fewer resources…It takes them longer to get from one place to another. What fire sprinklers do for them is buy them time. A fire sprinkler in your building will contain the fire to the point of origin, and allows the fire department time to get on scene and extinguish it."

This speaks to what must be a personal issue for Mr. Hernandez as a former firefighter: the presence of fire sprinklers in the home. While fire sprinklers are often legally mandated in industrial and commercial spaces, they aren't always required in houses and other residential buildings. This can be a dangerous prospect for firefighters reporting to homes as fire sprinklers can contain and sometimes halt a fire when it starts.

For any type of space, Mr. Hernandez and Fire Protection Group, Inc. can create a fire safety system, fire escape assembly, sprinkler system, and much more. These systems not only save lives and property damage, they also assist the local fire department in their life-threatening jobs. Fire Protection Group, Inc. is also qualified to perform Reg 4, NFPA 25, and CA Title 19 testing for most systems.
