Greenway Technologies provides fast emergency response for fire protection issues across Tempe and the Phoenix metro area.

Response timing depends on the nature and severity of the call, but urgent service is always prioritized.

Fire code in Tempe is enforced by the Tempe Fire Medical Rescue Department, primarily through its Fire Marshal's Office and Fire Prevention Division. This authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) enforces the locally adopted International Fire Code (IFC) along with the referenced NFPA standards that govern fire protection systems. The AHJ has final say on plan review, permits, inspections, and acceptance testing, and Greenway designs and installs systems to meet these local requirements.

Commercial fire sprinkler systems are inspected, tested, and maintained under NFPA 25, the standard for water-based fire protection systems. Required tasks occur at a range of intervals, from weekly and monthly checks of valves and gauges to quarterly, annual, and multi-year items such as the annual main drain test and the five-year internal pipe inspection. The exact schedule depends on the specific components and system type, along with any additional requirements set by the local AHJ.

Commercial fire alarm systems are inspected and tested under NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, with most systems requiring at least annual testing. Certain devices and functions may need more frequent checks to confirm that initiating and notification devices operate correctly. The precise frequency depends on the device types, the occupancy, and the local AHJ, and Greenway can install, inspect, test, and monitor your system to keep it code compliant.

Yes, commercial kitchens with cooking equipment that produces grease-laden vapors require a fixed fire suppression system for the hood, ducts, and appliances under NFPA 96. These wet chemical systems are built to the UL 300 standard and, per NFPA 96 and NFPA 17A, are typically inspected about every six months. This special-hazard suppression protects one of the highest fire-risk areas in any restaurant or food service operation.

A wet pipe sprinkler system keeps water in the piping at all times and discharges immediately when heat activates a sprinkler head, making it the most common choice for heated commercial spaces. A dry pipe system instead holds pressurized air or nitrogen in the piping and releases water only after a sprinkler opens, which suits unheated areas such as warehouses, loading docks, and parking structures. Both are designed under NFPA 13, and the right choice depends on your building's environment and use. Reach out for a free quote to determine which system best fits your Tempe property.
