Fire-safety company adds alarm services

Advanced Fire Extinguishers & Safety Equipment, Port Orange, which has clients throughout Central Florida including Volusia and Flagler counties, has received its Florida license to install, service and monitor fire and security alarms.

“After years of listening to our fire extinguisher customers asking when we could take over their alarm monitoring, I decided to listen to the feedback and start this new alarm division,” said owner and founder Ken Gaines, who is retired from Volusia County Fire Services as a deputy chief.

The company, 4189 Dairy Court, Suite F, also sells and services restaurant fire suppression services, fire extinguishers, exit lights and other safety equipment.
