You protect the building. We make sure it passes.
Failed inspections, AHJ violations, false alarms, slow contractors — fire protection is the kind of problem that doesn't make the agenda until something goes wrong. We make sure it never does. One company for every system in your building. One report after every visit. One bill at the end of the month.

One company. One report. One bill.
Most fire-protection programs in Texas are pieced together from four or five separate contractors — one for the alarm, one for the sprinkler, one for the extinguishers, one for the kitchen hood, one for ERCES. Five accounts, five COIs, five inspection schedules, five different reports written in five different formats, and nobody owning the whole picture. We replaced that.
One company
Every fire system in your building — alarm, sprinkler, monitoring, kitchen, clean agent, ERCES — designed, installed, inspected, and serviced by Zion technicians. One account manager. One number to call. One name on the COI.
One report
After every visit, you get a single AHJ-ready report covering everything tested that day — across every system. No reconciling four PDFs to figure out what passed and what didn't. Same format every time. Delivered same-day, not three weeks later.
One bill
One monthly invoice for your whole portfolio. Itemized clearly. Reviewed before it goes out. Your AP team stops chasing five contractors for backup, and your CFO finally has a single line item for "fire protection."
Every fire-protection system in your building — handled.
You don't have to figure out which contractor handles which system. You don't have to reconcile inspection reports from five vendors. You don't have to chase a separate ERCES tester or a separate kitchen-hood inspector. We do all of it.

As a small business owner Zion Fire Protection has been awesome to do business with. This is the first time we are using their service and we will definitely use them for future fire extinguisher inspections and also for our hood installations and fire suppression installations and services. Sandy at their Plano office not only helped me get the inspections done very fast but she also gave me an awesome deal.
Excellent customer service, was truly a pleasure to visit, made everything easy.
Took 2 fire extinguishers to be inspected for fire marshall inspection and service was super. Did them while I waited and couldn't have been better or friendlier service. Extinguishers were for the commercial building where I work, Frozen Ropes in McKinney, Texas.
I had a great experience with Zion Fire. Our fire extinguishers needed a new inspection and we needed to find a new company. The cost to do all my extinguishers was half the cost of one extinguisher with our old company. Highly recommend. I think it took 10 minutes in and out the door.
I needed a fire extinguisher annual inspection recently and used Zion Fire Protection. The entire process was efficient and hassle-free. Booking was easy. They answered the phone fast and were kind and professional when setting up the work. They offered same-day service. The work was completed quickly and professionally, and the units were properly tagged and the compliance paperwork was sorted out right away.
From the ladies that answer the phone to the owner, everyone at this business is super helpful and knowledgeable. They went above and beyond for us. They will definitely have our business from here on out.
The resources we built so you can make the right call — with or without us.
No email gate. No "schedule a demo." Free because a property manager who understands the code is a property manager who hires the right contractor.
