Woodside, New York
Firecom began in the late 1960’s as a sound company, “Commercial Radio & Sound”. In the early ‘70’s, due to New York City adopting Local law #5 in 1973 requiring any office building over 75’ high to have a fire system, the company developed a fire alarm system to meet the new code and changed its name to Firecom, Inc. The company went public in 1984 and current management took control of the company in 1991, taking the company private in the mid 90’s.
