A prominent multi-site church in Arkansas, consisting of 15 locations, has successfully secured its fire and life safety needs through a partnership with Everon Fire Systems. The collaboration has resulted in the implementation of an integrated fire alarm system, boasting device-level addressability.
This system ensures the safety and compliance of the facilities while providing 24/7 UL-certified fire monitoring to protect the thousands of congregants visiting each week.
Challenges in Fire Safety Management
The church initially faced difficulties in managing and viewing critical data from its addressable fire detection system. Each facility possessed a unique network where devices had specific “addresses” to facilitate the rapid identification of alarm sources. However, the absence of a consolidated interface from their previous service provider presented a challenge in ensuring timely responses to potential fire hazards.
With numerous visitors attending services weekly, it became apparent that the inability to effectively pinpoint alarms compromised the safety of the churchgoers. This prompted the church to seek a new fire and life safety provider that could offer enhanced visibility and reliability.
Comprehensive Solution Implementation

Everon Fire Systems responded by conducting an in-depth assessment of the church's existing fire safety setup. This led to the installation and reconfiguration of the fire systems, along with thorough inspections of fire alarms and extinguishers.
The integrated system is fully compliant with local, state, and national fire safety codes, thus providing robust protection for the church facilities.
Moreover, Everon was selected to provide 24/7, year-round fire monitoring through its strategically positioned, proprietary monitoring centers across the United States. This ensures a swift response to any emergencies, enhancing the church's overall safety framework.
Positive Outcome and Trust Building
With Everon's comprehensive solution in place, the church has effectively streamlined its fire safety management. Regular inspections and reliable monitoring services have allowed the church leadership to focus back on their primary activities without the constant concern over fire system operations.
The church's satisfaction with Everon's meticulous attention to detail led to a complete transition of all life safety services to Everon, establishing them as the church's exclusive partner for all fire and life safety needs.
