Maine Fire Prevention: keeping you safe 24 hours a day

    HOULTON — What do Smokey Bear and Maine Fire Prevention Services have in common? One thing really and that’s fire prevention and protection.
    Maine Fire Prevention has been working toward providing residents with everything they need to be prepared in the event of a fire for the past seven years. Owned and operated by David Henderson, Maine Fire Prevention, located at 244 Bangor Road, works 24/7 to make sure that should the time come, their staff is there to answer your call.
    “We pride ourselves in meeting customer’s needs as they contact us,” said Henderson. “By having an office/ business in Houlton, we are centralized to most of our coverage area. We also travel to all businesses to conduct inspections, and we have a monthly listing by date of what is due so you can ‘leave the worrying to us.’”
    Besides providing on call services, Maine Fire Prevention also sells and services extinguishers, commercials hoods, and suppression systems and is also available for restaurant hood cleaning and maintenance.
    One of their latest features is a retractable Egress fire escape ladder. These ladders mounts as a fixed ladder to most structures; meets OSHA and ANSI standards and is UL listed; comes with a 10-year warranty; comes in extruded anodized aluminum construction which permanently avoids rust and corrosion and is maintenance free. Retractable ladder caps prevents water from leaking, the handles are user friendly and requires less than five pounds of force to deploy and when they’re not being used, they look like a drainpipe on the side of the house.
    But besides having all of the latest styles in fire prevention tools, Henderson shifts his focus to maintaining a strong customer service relationship. They have a full-time office manager, along with two full-time and six part-time employees, who are available during their regular business hours that can address your needs and concerns.
    Regular business hours are Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and are available on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
