PLACENTIA, CALIFORNIA — When a restaurant is in need of Nationwide Fire Protection Corp.’s Ontario fire protection services, time frequently is of the essence.

That is why Nationwide Fire Protection places a great deal of effort into responding to calls quickly and getting the requested services completed in short order.

“We are all about speed without sacrificing quality,” said Massoud Farazandeh, general manager of Nationwide Fire Protection. “We have the quickest response time to any service call.”

NFP is headquartered in Denver, CO and is an affiliate of American Professional Services (APS-Hoods). NFP has installed Ontario fire protection systems and commercial kitchen hoods for businesses throughout California for more than 20 years.It opened a satellite location in Placentia, CA in August to better meet customer demand for their services. When it comes to installations in existing or newly constructed buildings, NFP prides itself particularly on the speed in which the company can work through local permitting processes.

Where some companies may drag out the process for weeks, Nationwide Fire Protection typically can get the task accomplished in a matter of days. This is important to customers, because they often can’t open for business or resume business until NFP’s work is completed.

“Permitting can hold up progress if you’re not careful,” Farazandeh said. “There is no trick to what we do to expedite the process. We just go after it promptly. We understand that for our clients, time is money.”

Farazandeh ensures that he or his employees hand-deliver the paperwork to city offices, rather than sending it through the mail. The company’s experienced staff also plays a role in expediting the permit process.

“We’ve been in this line of work for a long time, so when it comes to things like mechanical and electrical drawings, we tend to get those rights the first time,” he said. “When you do it right the first time, city officials don’t send you back for re-drawings and corrections. That alone speeds up the permitting process.”

Nationwide Fire Protection also has a good follow-up system in place to ensure the permits get approved in a timely fashion.

The company’s Placentia location makes it possible for NFP to maintain a large supply of parts and materials. Having an extensive warehouse allows the company to build customized hoods faster, Farazandeh said. Smaller companies are slowed down due to having to order each and every piece by mail.

“Waiting for shipments after the job has started can really slow down an installation job,” he said.

Time Is Money

Customers appreciate the speed in which Nationwide Fire Protection can get the work done, and they also appreciate the comprehensive services the company provides, Farazandeh said. When it comes to new restaurants, for example, having a company that provides a wide range of services can speed up construction, which means the restaurant can open on time, if not sooner. It can take up to two months sometimes for other companies to do an installation,” he said.”

Meanwhile, the customer is paying their lease and other bills on a business that isn’t even open yet. Nationwide Fire Protection can complete an installation within a week and if the customer really is pressing to get the work done, the company has completed jobs within two to three days. “We don’t take short cuts to make it happen,” Farazandeh said.

Instead, through years of experience, the company has learned how to streamline the process. “We get it done faster primarily because we’re getting all the logistics together beforehand,” he said. “We get the permitting done right away, the drawings turned in to the city and the city approves it. These things can take quite a long time if companies are not on top of it.” NFP employees also will work extended hours to complete the

job in short order.

The speed doesn’t end with the installation process. Farazandeh maintains quick response times when it comes to service calls by giving employees flexible schedules and having someone on call 24 hours a day.
