Fire Sentry Corporation designs, manufacturers, tests, and markets fast-reacting electro-optical fire and flame detectors, portable test lamps, controllers, and control panels. Fire Sentry detectors rapidly and reliably detect all types of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon fires for a broad range of industrial markets. All products feature solid-state digital microprocessor electronics, Multi-Spectrum and Multi-Spectral Wide Band IR™ quantum sensors and FirePic™ for postulating the cause of fire events. Fire Sentry´s fire detection products are used worldwide in petrochemical plants, refineries and offshore platforms; the semiconductor industry; airbag manufacturing plants; munitions plants; automotive paint lines; general electrostatic finishing; power plants; general industrial facilities; as well as other diversified industries and applications.

We began as a company in 1981, and incorporated in 1984, by David A. Castleman and a small group of entrepreneurs to address the lack of advanced aerospace detection and sensing technology in the fire detection industry. During the last 25 years, we have grown into a group of dedicated fire detection professionals who continue to revolutionize the fire detection industry with their innovative products that are designed to provide the earliest warning of fires in order to save lives and property.

Fire Sentry Corporation´s offices and manufacturing plant are located in Brea, California. Fire Sentry is organized as a horizontal manufacturing company in Southern California´s aerospace community and because of the high technology military manufacturing environment in the Los Angeles/Orange County geographical area, horizontal manufacturing is cost-effective while providing the highest levels of Mil Spec quality and reliability. Mil Spec level PCB´s and components are procured from reliable, long-term strategic partner manufacturers and horizontal manufacturing allows the company to be flexible in meeting customer requirements.

In 1998 the company expanded into an adjacent building that allowed for the construction of a 100 ft. indoor fire and smoke test room as well as the ability for testing fire detectors outdoors at distances of up to 250 ft. Also located in this second building are the Administration, Engineering, and Sales departments, which work very closely together on the development of new products that meet the needs of Fire Protection Industry. A training room, with a full range of fully functioning Fire Sentry products, is available for the use of customers, distributors and representatives.

Fire Sentry is committed to maintaining its high quality manufacturing standards. Since 1998 Fire Sentry has been certified for conformance to ISO 9001:2000 quality standards for the entire company operations including manufacturing, engineering and marketing by SGS International Certification Services, Inc. In addition, Factory Mutual (FM), Canadian Standards (CSA), Cenelec/ATEX, and other approval agencies regularly audit Fire Sentry facilities.
