Welcome Susan Lanahan, Life Safety Division

Welcome Susan Lanahan, Life Safety Division

Without a doubt, Brothers Fire & Security is continually growing and adapting with the times. We help our clients effectively navigate the always-changing technology in the fire and security industry. Our commitment is to give our customers professional, fast, comprehensive and cost-effective results.

As part of our strategic growth plan, please join me in welcoming Susan Lanahan to our Life Safety Division. We’re fortunate that Susan brings 25+ years of sales and business development experience.

Susan’s primary role with Brothers Fire & Security is to consult with business owners, key decision-makers and property managers about their life safety, and fire and security compliance needs.

One of her top priorities is to expand our online academy, “Life Safety Made Simple.” Our academy features innovative online training products and services to help our clients and their staff to be well-trained in a variety of fire and security areas, as well as in compliance.

One of the biggest challenges that all businesses face in terms of life safety, is keeping up with training and compliance requirements with their fire and security systems. Our goal is to give all of our clients the tools and skills they need to cost-effectively manage their systems. Naturally, there are any repairs needed or help with inspections, we’re happy to help.

In her new role, Susan is will be helping new and existing clients to expand access and inspections of their fire and security systems. In this age of Do It Yourself (DIY), many people want to take care of their own inspections.  Things like emergency exit lights, and fire extinguishers, for example. Since certification is still required, we’ve invested in the educational tools needed.

Now, our new online learning portal will help our clients get certified and manage their own inspections. We can provide all the tools and skills so you can manage your life safety systems cost-effectively, across your entire network and business reach.

We help our clients to protect and save people’s lives, protect buildings, and make staying on top of all the life safety issues easier and most cost-effective.”
