 Let’s talk about Labor Day. The day when we pretend to honor workers by… giving them one day off before dumping them back into warehouses hotter than Satan’s attic.

And while everyone else is stocking up on hot dogs and debating whether it’s too early for pumpkin spice (it is, calm down), you — the owner or manager of an industrial facility in Everett — should be thinking about something a little more important.

Like, say, whether your building would survive a fire that doesn’t come with marshmallows.

Because Labor Day’s around the corner, and your industrial site? It’s sitting there like a giant metal matchbox — packed with flammable materials, dust, equipment from the Cold War era, and Larry, who still smokes next to the loading dock like it’s 1995.

Let’s get serious. This is the time for fire protection upgrades.


Why Labor Day Is the Perfect Time for Fire Safety Upgrades

Why now? Because the world’s distracted. Your team’s distracted. You’ve got a tiny window between summer chaos and Q4 madness to actually do something smart for your facility — like making sure it doesn’t spontaneously combust next to the break room fridge.

And let’s be honest: no one’s asking you to do anything revolutionary here. Just make sure your fire protection system in Everett isn’t running on hope, duct tape, and blind faith.


What Makes Industrial Facilities in Everett a Fire Risk?

Everett’s got everything — aerospace, manufacturing, shipping, warehouses, processing plants… and each one of those is a unique fire hazard waiting to happen.

Here’s what you’re probably dealing with:

  • Flammable materials stored like it’s Jenga: Check.

  • Machines that haven’t been cleaned since Clinton was president: Oh yes.

  • Electrical panels rigged by a guy named “Sparky”: Obviously.

  • Dust. So much dust. Industrial dust is basically glitter that kills you.

  • Zero clear evacuation signage because Dave “knows the way.”

If this sounds familiar — congratulations, you’re not alone. Most facilities in Everett are overdue for a proper fire safety check. The difference? You're reading this. So you might actually do something about it.


Enter: Compass Fire Protection (AKA the Adults in the Room)

This is where Compass Fire Protection comes in — your not-so-silent partner in making sure your facility doesn’t become the setting for a very depressing news story.

We’ve got over 50 years of combined experience dealing with facilities like yours — the kind where one spark could end your entire month, and where “routine maintenance” means writing something on a whiteboard and never looking at it again.

Serving all of Everett, Snohomish County, and the surrounding industrial zones, we specialize in:

🔥 Industrial fire suppression systems
🔥 Sprinkler inspections and retrofits
🔥 Fire alarm testing and monitoring
🔥 Suppression systems for machinery and chemical hazards
🔥 Dust collection and explosion protection systems
🔥 Ongoing support so you don’t go back to ignoring everything after we leave

We know Everett. We know what works. And we know you probably don’t want to deal with any of this — which is fine, because we do.


Fire Protection Systems That Actually Do Their Job

There’s nothing worse than a fire suppression system that just kind of vibes instead of working. If your current setup is older than your intern, it’s time to upgrade.

Let’s talk options:

🧯 Wet and Dry Sprinkler Systems

Choose based on what’s in your facility. If it freezes, go dry. If it doesn’t, go wet. Simple. But most people? They just guess. Don’t be most people.

🧼 Clean Agent Systems

These are for the fancy parts — electronics, sensitive gear, robotics. It kills fires without destroying the equipment you just paid six figures for.

🧪 Chemical Suppression Systems

Perfect for flammable liquids and chemical hazards. It reacts faster than you do when your coffee machine breaks.

🧠 Integrated Fire Alarm and Monitoring

Because it’s 2025, and if your system doesn’t tell you there’s a fire before the building is glowing, what are we even doing?


4-Step Fire Protection Plan That Doesn’t Waste Your Time

We keep it straightforward — no PowerPoint presentations, no 47-page reports. Just action.

1. Site Assessment

We walk the facility and point out everything that’s going to kill you. Nicely, of course.

2. Customized Protection Plan

You’ll get a plan designed for your building, your materials, and your budget. No upsells. No nonsense. No gold-plated fire extinguishers.

3. Installation + Testing

We do the dirty work. We fix what’s broken. We test until we’re sure it’ll save your butt — not just give you a false sense of security.

4. Ongoing Maintenance & Support

Because fire safety isn’t a one-night stand. It’s a long-term relationship. We’re in it for the long haul.


Who Needs This? Everyone. But Especially…

If you run or manage:

  • A manufacturing plant

  • A distribution center

  • A warehouse

  • A processing facility

  • A fabrication shop

  • A logistics center

  • Any place where someone says, “It’s probably fine” more than once a week

You need proper fire protection in Everett. Not just legally, but logically. This is the difference between shutting down for Labor Day and never reopening.


Don’t Wait Until the Firefighters Show Up Uninvited

Look, Labor Day is a time to honor your workers — not put them in danger. You give them hard hats, steel-toed boots, and high-vis vests. But none of that matters if your building goes up like a Roman candle because someone didn’t test the suppression system.

You owe it to your people — and your business — to be ready.
