Largo Warehouse Fire: A Reminder of the Importance of Fire Protection Systems

AtoZ Fire • September 16, 2024

Just last week, a two-alarm structure fire broke out in a warehouse on 59th Way N. in Largo, sending crews rushing to the scene at 4:15 a.m. Heavy smoke and flames engulfed the building as firefighters worked tirelessly to bring the blaze under control. Thankfully, no one was inside at the time of the fire, but one brave firefighter was hospitalized for evaluation. Our thoughts are with the firefighter and their family, and we hope for a speedy recovery.




The swift response from multiple agencies—Largo Fire Rescue, Sunstar, Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, and several local fire departments—helped prevent further damage. This fire serves as a sobering reminder of the critical importance of having proper fire protection systems in place.



At A to Z Fire, we are committed to helping local businesses stay prepared. Fires like this can happen without warning, and having working fire suppression systems, hood systems, and alarm panels is essential for mitigating risks and keeping everyone safe.



This September, we are offering up to 15% off all sales and services for fire suppression and alarm systems. Whether you're running a restaurant, a warehouse, or any other business, it's important to ensure your fire safety equipment is in top working order. This discount is only available for a limited time, and you must mention this promotion when booking!


Take action before it's too late—contact us today to schedule an inspection or service. Stay safe, Largo!

Here are the top five reasons your fire alarm panel might be in trouble—and what you should do about it:
