Access Fire Protection Services Inc. is a family-owned company specializing in fire extinguisher service and maintenance since its establishment in February 2005. Founded by Shannongail and Christopher Chernoff, the company emerged from the couple's desire to provide a more personal and accessible experience in the fire safety industry following their loss of corporate jobs. With Christopher being a service-disabled veteran, they successfully integrated their values of service, community, and expertise into their business model.
Operating in the Puget Sound area, including Seattle, Tacoma, King County, and Pierce County, Access Fire Protection is committed to ensuring the safety of workplaces through reliable fire extinguisher services. They pride themselves on the personal touch they bring to every client, ensuring that customers see the same friendly professionals year after year. Rather than becoming another impersonal entity in a world dominated by large corporations, Access Fire Protection maintains its mission to prioritize local customer service, making the company a trusted partner for various clients, including government facilities, schools, hospitals, and retail stores.
The company has obtained numerous certifications, including service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) and economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business (EDWOSB) statuses. They offer comprehensive services such as fire extinguisher inspections, recharges, maintenance, and testing, all while delivering exceptional customer support.
Following the passing of Christopher in October 2023, Shannongail continues to honor his vision by upholding the company's commitment to quality service and community engagement. With a focus on building lasting relationships and facilitating fire safety, Access Fire Protection remains dedicated to enhancing workplace safety for its clients and looks forward to serving the community for many years to come.
