TesTimonials: FORTIS BC: “Very good, very professional. Informative and helpful. They look after all of the fire extinquishers at Fortis.” FERRARO FOODS: “Honest, they complete the job and there is no mystery left behind. Quote is the quote, there are no surprises. Professional and good quality work.” RED MOUNTAIN RESORT: “Working with them for 3 years and they are a solid company. Good customer service, always available. Highly recommend the company.” YRB: “My experiences over the years with West Kootenay Fire Safety, both in supplying products as well as doing our annual fire safety inspections, have been great. They are courteous and very helpful...their prices are good...and the service is wonderful. I am pleased that they are part of our community.”
BALDFACE LODGE: “Baldface Lodge has received excellent service from West Kootenay Fire Safety for over 7 years. They have provided efficient and affordable servicing of our fire extinguishers year after year, ensuring if we have to use them, we won’t be disappointed! We would recommend their team for any fire safety needs, business or residential.” DOWNIE TIMBER LTD. : “West Kootenay Fire Safety performed the 2012 annual service on Downie Timber’s 260+ fire extinguishers. They were prompt to respond when called upon and did a great job. Everyone is friendly and easy to deal with yet remain professional. I continue to use their services and would certainly recommend them to others.” ALPINE LAKE RESORT: “One of the most dangerous things about fire safety is that you have to trust the people who are giving you advice. You need to know they will not sell you something just because they can scare you with inaccurate information that is hard to verify on your own. You need to know that when they say
the work is done and it is up to code; it is up to code. You need to know that when your fire safety company says your clients, your loved ones, your family is safe - they are safe. West Kootenay Fire Safety is that company. Please drop by Alpine Lake Suites for a visit. We would love to show you how they keep us safe.” F.B.I : “A few months back , West Kootenay Fire Safety supplied and installed a fire prevention system in our paint booth . Neil and his crew were very fast and efficient . The professional install didn’t even interrupt our operation . I would highly recommend West Kootenay Fire Safety. Professional, on time and on budget. What more could we ask for. Thanks again Neil and crew for a great job and experience !” WESTERN PACIFIC MARINE KOOTENAY LAKE FERRIES: “West Kootenay Fire Safety offers exceptional service for all our vessel inspections and certification. Niel, the owner, offers comprehensive service from reminders of service due dates, prompt
service scheduling, and he will personally review all the reports offering cost effective solutions. I can rest assured that our certification is accurately completed.” WhITEWATER SKI RESORT: “West Kootenay Fire Safety has serviced our resort for over 20 yrs. They are friendly, helpful and always able to assist on short notice. Over the years they have performed our annual fire extinguisher staff training, test and recharge our fleet of extinguishers and restaurant fire suppression system. I would recommend their services to any business or home owner looking for added piece of mind in fire safety services.”
