One company. One report. One bill.
Most fire-protection programs in Texas are pieced together from four or five 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 schedules. Five report formats. And when something slips, the deficiency notice lands on your desk — not theirs. That's what we replaced.
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."
Four steps from “I'm not sure” to “we're covered.”
You start on your phone. You get answers the same day. Nobody chases you until you ask.

The fire-protection partner you call when failure isn't an option.
The credentials match the work
When the AHJ asks a code question on your site, the answer is in the room. Every system is designed and every report is signed off by a NICET-credentialed lead — the owner himself holds NICET III in two disciplines.
The tech at your panel knows the code
The person working on your building knows what they're doing — because Zion Fire Academy trained them. Documented NICET progression, named mentorship, paid classroom time. You stop hoping the tech knows the code.
Your paperwork lands the same day
Same-day deficiency reports. Same-day AHJ certificates. Same-day inspection summaries. What used to take three weeks now takes three hours — so you stop chasing reports and start closing the loop with your AHJ.

Property managers, GCs, and owners across Texas hire Zion to run their fire-protection program.
The CEO still walks the buildings.
Joel Sadowsky founded Zion in 2018 — NICET Level III in Fire Alarm and Special Hazards, NICET Level II in Sprinkler, FCC GROL, and 15+ years in the Texas fire-protection trade. Every project of consequence still gets his eyes. Every code question gets a direct answer.
That's what makes Zion different from a national contractor whose decision-maker is in another state. Decisions happen in McKinney. Escalation is one step long.

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.

Frequently asked questions
What services does Zion provide?
Fire alarm, fire sprinkler, fire pump, voice evacuation, 24/7 monitoring, ERCES/BDA, clean-agent and special hazards, kitchen suppression, gas detection, fire extinguishers, backflow prevention, emergency and exit lighting, fire doors, standpipes, hydrants, underground fire line, fire watch, code consulting, and the inspection, testing, and maintenance work each of those systems requires under NFPA. One company for all of it.
Where in Texas does Zion service?
DFW from our McKinney HQ; statewide for ITM, monitoring, specialty hazards, ERCES, and AHJ-driven emergencies. Houston, San Antonio, Austin, El Paso, the Valley — we cover the state.
What does Zion mean by "one company, one report, one bill"?
It means we run every fire-protection system in your building under one Zion account. One account manager. One technician team. One AHJ-ready report after each visit, covering every system tested that day in the same format. One monthly invoice for your whole portfolio. Most building owners are running their fire-protection program through four or five separate contractors today; we replaced that.
What are your certifications and licenses?
Founder Joel Sadowsky: NICET Level III & II certifications across multiple fire-protection disciplines, including Fire Alarm Systems, Sprinkler Layout, Special Hazards Suppression, and Inspection & Testing of Water-Based Systems; FCC GROL; Arizona CR-76; Texas APS, RME, and FEL; Backflow Prevention Assembly Tester. Texas SFM contractor registrations: alarm (ACR #2371654), sprinkler (SCR #2571606), extinguisher (ECR #2370364). NFPA, NFSA, NICET, and SFPE memberships current.
Do you handle 24/7 emergency response?
Yes. 855.ZIONFIRE reaches dispatch around the clock for fire watch, system failures, monitoring trouble signals, and AHJ emergencies. Monitored accounts receive priority response.
How fast can you get a quote together?
48 hours for inspection, service, and ITM scope after we walk the building. 5–10 business days for new-construction estimating after we receive drawings. Faster on AHJ-driven emergencies.
What is an AHJ and how do I find mine?
Authority Having Jurisdiction — the entity enforcing fire code at your building, usually the local fire marshal's office. Our Texas AHJ Lookup covers 291 Texas jurisdictions with current code adoption and major local amendments. Building Signal Check™ extends that to 832 named-AHJ jurisdictions across 17 states.
