Whether you own a commercial office building, apartment or condominium complex, restaurant, gas station, computer or server room, retail store, are in charge of a school, or are a private homeowner, we have the solutions that are right for you.
Fire Sprinkler Systems
How important is a sprinkler system to the long-term prospects for your business?
The United States Small Business Administration says, “Businesses often fail after a fire.” This is because the fire damages inventory and personal property, making it hard to attract customers.
The U.S. SBA reports that disasters strike over 90% of businesses, causing them to fail within two years!
FEMA says 40% of businesses don't reopen after a disaster and 25% fail within a year. The best course of action is not to rely on your insurance. Along with your insurance you should do everything you can to avoid a fire.
One major tool in averting disaster is a modern, well-maintained, functioning sprinkler or other appropriate fire suppression system installed and maintained by R.B. Lewis Fire Control Systems. With over 50 years of industry experience, we provide fire sprinkler system design, installation, inspection and repair services to commercial and industrial businesses throughout Southern New Hampshire.
We offer fire suppression systems for all types of facilities starting with traditional water sprinkler systems. But water isn’t suitable for all business applications. R.B. Lewis also offers fire suppression systems for data centers, computer rooms, gas stations, commercial cooking applications or any other site where a unique fire protection system is required.
Our fire sprinkler technicians regularly train on the latest equipment. We stay up-to-date on the latest products and techniques consistent with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes and standards. Our job is to install, maintain and inspect a fire control system that will protect your people, your customers and your business.
Our technicians are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – No call centers and no voicemail systems!
BACKFLOW PREVENTION SERVICES
What do commercial backflow preventers do?
Backflow preventers stop contaminated water from flowing back into the public drinking water supply. They do this by using check valves to ensure that water flows in one direction through a system.
This important system must be tested and certified annually. Rely on our experience and knowledge of NFPA standards and local codes so your business remains in compliance.
R.B. Lewis Fire Control Systems has 20 years of experience in backflow prevention services. Contact us about the installation of backflow preventers at your commercial property, scheduling routine maintenance or testing. You’ll have the confidence your backflow preventer is functioning properly and your system is in regulatory compliance.
Fire Extinguishers & Training
Your first line of fire control is easy-to-access and fully functioning portable fire extinguishers. Before a fire can get out of control, fire extinguishers give you the opportunity to protect building occupants and prevent property damage. Fire extinguishers are also required for safety regulatory compliance. Readily accessible and fully functional portable fire extinguishers protect occupants, prevent property damage, and ensure regulatory compliance.
R.B. Lewis Fire Control Systems provides fire extinguisher installation, inspection, maintenance, recharging, and training services to commercial and industrial businesses in Southern New Hampshire.
Following NFPA codes and standards, we will help you determine how many fire extinguishers your business, industrial, municipal or other public building requires. R.B. Lewis will also help you identify the correct type and placement of your fire extinguishers. We carefully inspect each device and will teach your team how to use hand-operated fire extinguishers effectively.
It’s required that portable fire extinguishers are maintained annually and inspected monthly. R.B. Lewis also provides yearly maintenance, recharges, and testing as necessary.

Fire Hydrants & Pumps
HYDRANTS
Fire hydrants are a critical and sometimes overlooked component of commercial fire protection systems.
Contact R.B. Lewis Fire Control Systems about testing and maintaining all hydrants on your property. Whether you have an existing hydrant needing repairs or need to install a new one we stock the latest parts and equipment. Your fire hydrants will be installed and maintained with a high level of expertise.
As a fire control company based in Manchester, we understand the unique challenges New Hampshire’s weather presents for fire hydrant operation year-round.
PUMPS
Fire pumps are a vital part of your installed sprinkler systems. Pump systems are necessary when municipal water systems can’t provide adequate pressure or volume to meet the requirements of a building’s hydraulic demands.
We ensure compliance with all relevant NFPA fire safety regulations. We recommend regular maintenance to keep your fire pump systems in optimal working condition, protecting your property and employees.
Together we will determine your specific pump system needs with an initial consultation at your property. R.B. Lewis is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to service your hydrants and pump systems.
Commercial Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems
The modern commercial kitchen is hotter than ever! Cooking equipment reaches higher temperatures and oils burn at extremely high temperature levels. It all adds up to increased risk of kitchen fires. Traditional fire suppression methods are much less effective against the potential intensity of a commercial kitchen fire.
Do you feel like your current fire suppression provider doesn’t meet your service expectations? Is it time for a new system? Are you building a new commercial kitchen? R.B. Lewis Fire Control stays ahead of the curve in restaurant and commercial kitchen fire safety. We offer the latest technologies and best practices to protect your property, staff and customers.
Once installed, we will conduct your semi-annual and annual inspections, providing 24/7/365 day a year service.
Exit & Emergency Lighting
Emergency lights and exit signs are amongst the most important and commonly used safety devices in your business.
Fire alarm systems alert people to an emergency. Fire sprinklers and suppression systems put out fires. But exit and emergency lights guide you, your employees and customers to safety when there is an emergency.
Emergency and exit path lighting are required in all commercial and public buildings. These systems are also required to continue functioning during a power outage or other service disruption for at least ninety (90) minutes.
There are documents indicating that tests of your emergency lighting and exit signs have been performed as required, as well as a monthly quick check of your units.
R.B. Lewis tests, inspects and services every type of emergency lighting system. This includes monthly checks as well as the 90-minute test and delivery of the proper documentation. We also inspect and service the emergency exit lighting and panic alarm devices at each of your properties.

Imagine having a 24/7 guard watching over your building, ready to spring into action at the first sign of trouble. That's what fire alarm monitoring does. It connects your fire alarm system to a professional monitoring center, so even if you're not there, help is always on call.
With fire alarm monitoring emergency services are notified immediately. You’ll have the peace of mind knowing your building is protected 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Fire codes require fire alarm monitoring, ensuring you’re code compliant and meeting legal standards.
If you're unsure about your building's fire safety needs, we can help. R.B. Lewis will assess your needs and make the necessary recommendations.
