When it comes to fire protection, having the right credentials is important—but it’s not everything. In today’s industry, it’s easier than ever to come across companies and individuals who are “licensed,” but lack the hands-on experience and in-depth knowledge that comes only with time and real-world application.
At Texoma Fire Alarm and Suppression LLC, we’re here to tell you: not all licenses are created equal.
Experience Makes the Difference
A fire protection license is a requirement in our field, and we absolutely support that standard. It helps ensure a baseline of knowledge. But too often, people equate a license with expertise. The truth is, anyone can take a course and pass a test. What you can’t replicate or fast-track is over 35 years of experience in the industry—something we bring to every job, every time.
We’ve seen nearly every scenario imaginable:
Faulty installations that passed initial inspections but failed in emergencies
Systems that met minimum code, but not the specific needs of the building
Businesses that relied on someone “licensed” but inexperienced—and paid the price
When life safety is on the line, that piece of paper isn’t enough. You need someone who’s been in the field, understands the intricacies of code compliance, system integration, and long-term reliability—not just someone who can pass a test.
Certified and Proven
At Texoma Fire Alarm and Suppression LLC, we don’t just have certifications—we’ve earned them over decades of consistent, reliable service. Our team is not only trained and licensed but also battle-tested through years of real-world installations, inspections, service calls, and code updates. We’ve built a reputation on doing it right the first time, not cutting corners, and always putting safety first.
Don’t Settle for a License Alone
When you choose a fire protection partner, you’re putting your trust—and the safety of your people and property—into their hands. Make sure that trust is well-placed. Ask questions. Look beyond the paperwork. Choose a company with a proven track record, not just a certification number.
