Over the weekend, Sonitrol’s Central Station operator, DJ, received a fire alarm at an apartment complex we protect and monitor. DJ dispatched the fire department, who responded at once. Evansville Fire Department found a garbage bag smoldering due to a lit cigarette in the hallway of the building. They put it out before it grew and ventilated the apartment building. This could have been a MAJOR disaster-from loss of life or injury to property damage- had the fire system not been monitored by our 24-hour Central Station. Not only do we install commercial fire systems for housing, warehouses, medical offices, commercial businesses, and more, we monitor them, providing emergency response around the clock. Great job, DJ! Excellent work, Evansville Fire Department!
Be prepared for Carbon Monoxide leaks!
Last night, our Central Station operator, DJ, received a Carbon Monoxide alarm from a residence we secure with security and fire detection. He dispatched the fire department, who responded and determined there was a Carbon Monoxide leak in the basement. The fire department contacted the gas company to meet them so that the leak could be stopped. Great job to DJ and our local fire department! Carbon Monoxide is odorless and can only be detected with the proper device. If you haven’t added monitored Carbon Monoxide detection to your commercial or residential property, contact Sonitrol at (800)444-1191.
All-star operators!
You might remember these all-star Central Station operators from recent Sonitrol news. Chaz Fields dispatched on an alarm we monitor that resulted in an apprehension after suspects tried to rob a pharmacy. All merchandise was recovered! Maye Kincaide dispatched after receiving a video alarm of trespassers on a school roof. Not only are these operators on top of their monitoring game, but they were also both recognized this week for PERFECT attendance for the 4th quarter in Central Station. Way to go, Chaz and Maye! Our team is dependable and ALWAYS ON THE JOB.

Minimize water damage with a verified alarm
While we can’t prevent pipes from freezing and bursting, we can monitor your business property with a verified fire alarm and alert you when this unfortunate crisis occurs. This past week, our Central Station monitoring team alerted customers and dispatched fire department on several fire alarms that were caused by busted water pipes. In one case, our audio alarm detectors picked up the sound of water running before the fire alarm went off and was able to let the owners know. The fire department responded to the incidents, and the water department shut the water off in the buildings so repairs can be made.
Rather than wait until the holiday weekend is over to return to a flooding business, protect your property with a commercial fire alarm from Sonitrol, so you can be alerted as soon as possible and minimize property damage.

Developed by a police officer and an inventor…
Did you know that over fifty years ago Sonitrol was developed by a police officer and an inventor? Combining the creativity of the inventor, Bob Baxter, and the perspective of Al Cronk, a police officer, Sonitrol was launched with the purpose of decreasing false alarms that police responded to and more importantly to INCREASE criminal apprehensions. Baxter’s innovations in audio technology allowed a monitoring team to listen in to a commercial property that had Sonitrol armed and to verify to responding police that a break-in was in progress. Today, Sonitrol is the 3rd largest commercial security company in North America. Call us at (800) 444-1191 to get a free assessment to protect your home or business!
Fastest police response times!
Nationwide, Sonitrol is recognized among security leaders for having the FASTEST police response times in the industry. Because of our innovative alarm verification, our Central Station monitoring team can verify that a break-in is in progress. Law enforcement officers spend countless hours responding to false alarms with traditional alarm companies, but with Sonitrol, they know that’s not the case. Our operators even provide real-time critical details about what they are seeing and hearing at the facility, so law enforcement officers know more about the situation they are walking into, which helps increase officer safety. One of our professional design consultants is a phone call away at (800)444-1191 if you would like a FREE security assessment for your business or home.
