AFT has added yet another customer service to our diversified fire protection resources. Building Reports is a cloud based data system that allows our clients to inspect and test all of their fire protection systems including fire alarm, sprinkler, fire extinguishers and meet the code requirements associated with these systems.
Operation for Building Report System is simple and generates all the necessary reports for the clients required by local, state and federal laws. How it works: Every piece of equipment within a system is labeled with a bar code. These bar codes are then scanned into a hand held computer and information for each device is programmed by a technician with the location and type of device and the address. The reports are generated instantly and forwarded to the client. Building Reports is a sophisticated and innovative solution for Fire & Life Safety Inspection Reporting.
To find out more about this service and its benefits to your company, contact Joe Hastings, or American Fire Technologies’ office at 1-800-919-1288.

American Fire Technologies to begin a design & construction project providing linear heat detection at Dominion’s Mount Storm Power Station in West Virginia. The project’s scope is to replace existing pneumatic heat detection systems on eight (8) existing coal yard conveyors with linear heat detection, as well as providing detection on one (1) new conveyor. This project also incorporates the heat detection for a newly constructed valve house. Protectowire FS2000 Series Panels will be used to communicate all signals back to the main Notifier fire alarm control panel.
Dominion’s Mt. Storm Power Station is located in the Allegheny Mountains near Bismark, West Virginia residing on a 1,200 acre lake. It is the largest coal-fired power station managed by Dominion. Mt. Storm has three (3) coal fired units and can generate more than 1,600 megawatts of electricity.
American Fire Technologies, under contract with Ryan Fire Protection, is in the completion stages of the fire protection portion of the Modernization Project at Alcoa’s Cheoah Dam. This upgrade, which was part of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, included fire alarm and detection systems for the entire power house facility, in addition, to a Vortex Suppression system for the control rooms. This historic dam was constructed from 1916-1919 and interestingly was used in the 1993 movie, “The Fugitive” for the famous jump scene. American Fire Technologies is proud to have been a part of this project which will increase the life of the Cheoah Dam for decades.
