Carolyn Lightfoot
For Carolyn Lightfoot, founder of Cherokey Fire Protection, the most important concern is
making sure our customers get the best system at the best price. I know, everyone says that, but we really practice it. A recent example is a multi-family project in which the original plans from the architects called for open stairwells, which required the installation of an expensive freeze-resistant dry sprinkler system. However, in the final set of plans the stairwells were enclosed, so we amended our plans, and specified the far less expensive wet automatic sprinkler system. We made sure the property owner got the price reduction.
Fire Protection Systems for Apartments and Multi-Family Residences
Prioritizing life and property protection, while being good stewards of the project budget
A well planned and professionally installed automatic fire sprinkler system is the first line of defense when a fire starts.
From the installation of the very first apartment fire protection system in Texas at Pirate’s Landing Apartments in the early 1980s to the design and installation of leading edge systems in the new upscale Giorgetti Houston condominiums, Cherokey Fire Protection has been protecting families and their assets from devastating fire losses for over 4 decades.

Fire Control in 1 minute or 7?
The best fire protection is speed
A quality fire sprinkler system can control a room fire in about 1 minute, while it can take 7-12 minutes for the fire department to arrive on scene.
See for yourself how much less damaging a fire can be with a sprinkler system in place. This short video is an actual demonstration provided by the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition (HFSC).
Regular Inspections are a critical component of any Fire Safety System
Free and low-cost inspections put your buildings and tenants at risk
Retrofit and Restore Older Fire Protection Systems
Updating out-of-date systems ensures well protected properties
Retrofitting fire sprinkler systems in older or historic buildings is often a creative process that requires a lot of design flexibility. It's challenging to maintain the owner’s budget, the architect’s vision, while adhering to fire safety compliance rules.
The seasoned experts at Cherokey Fire Protection work closely with architects and owners to make it possible to implement a mixture of passive and active systems such as heat detectors and smoke and fire curtains that can help protect pre-existing buildings.
