In a recent collaboration, Everon played a crucial role in safeguarding a large multi-site church organisation in Arkansas.
This organisation, which operates across more than 15 locations, now benefits from Everon's integrated fire alarm systems, regular inspections, and UL-certified around-the-clock monitoring. This effort aims to ensure safety, compliance, and peace of mind for the multitude of visitors frequenting the church weekly.
Identifying a suitable provider
Faced with the challenge of finding a new fire and life safety provider, the church sought a partner capable of offering critical insights into their existing systems.
While their sites were equipped with addressable systems—advanced fire detection networks allowing precise location identification via a central control panel—they lacked a unified interface provided by their former monitoring service. This deficiency made it difficult to quickly pinpoint the origin of any potential alarm.
Enhanced fire safety measures
Everon's team of experts carried out an in-depth assessment of the church's existing configuration
Given the regular attendance of thousands, identifying and responding to fire threats promptly is essential for safeguarding the congregation.
Everon's team of experts carried out an in-depth assessment of the church's existing configuration. Through this process, they were able to install and reprogramme the fire systems, conduct thorough inspections of alarms and extinguishers, and introduce a fully integrated system. This level of integration ensures compliance with local, state, and national fire safety laws.
Improved emergency response
To complete their fire safety strategy, the church opted for Everon's UL-certified monitoring service. With centres strategically located nationwide, Everon can offer rapid 24/7 emergency responses year-round. This change, encompassing full system integration and meticulous inspections, allowed the church to concentrate on daily operations, unburdened by the complexities of fire system management.
Clients expressed satisfaction with Everon's meticulous attention to detail, leading them to entrust all life safety services to Everon. The partnership has designated Everon as the single comprehensive provider for their fire and life safety needs.
Everon helped a large, multi-site organisation in Arkansas protect 15+ locations with integrated fire alarm systems, inspections, and UL-certified 24/7 monitoring.
A large, multi-site church in Arkansas needed a trusted fire and life safety partner to provide visibility and reliability across all 15 of its facilities. Everon delivered an integrated fire alarm system with device-level addressability, comprehensive inspections, and UL-certified 24/7 fire monitoring—helping ensure safety, compliance, and peace of mind for thousands of weekly visitors.
Previous monitoring company
A multi-location church in Arkansas with over 15 locations was struggling to identify a new fire and life safety provider that would provide them with critical insight into their existing systems.
The customer had addressable systems – a complex fire detection network where each device has a unique ‘address’ on a central control panel to determine the exact location of an alarm for a quicker response – in all of their facilities and locations, but were unable to view these addresses in one clean interface with their previous monitoring company.
Performing fire alarm
With thousands of visitors attending services each week, it became clear that the safety of the churchgoers in the event of a fire was at risk without the proper device address data to quickly identify the fire’s location.
Everon’s team of fire and life safety experts conducted a comprehensive analysis of the customer’s current system configuration and were able to install and re-program the existing fire systems, while also performing fire alarm and extinguisher inspections. The fully integrated fire alarm system helps ensure that the church facilities are protected and in compliance with local, state, and national fire safety code requirements.
Faster emergency response
The customer also completed their fire and life safety system by choosing Everon as their UL certified fire monitoring service, with monitoring centers strategically located throughout the United States and owned by Everon, supporting a faster emergency response in the event of an incident 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
With the customer’s fire safety systems fully integrated, the alarm and extinguisher inspections completed, and now supported by the expertise of Everon’s monitoring teams – the customer was pleased with Everon’s attention to detail that allowed them to return their focus to day-to-day church activities rather than concerning themselves with the management of their fire systems.
Everon’s experts earned the trust of the customer, and eventually the customer transitioned all of their life safety services to Everon – now acting as the customer’s One Ideal Partner for their entire fire and life safety program.
