Matt McKean

I attended a training at Silco Fire & Security’s Columbus location with a focus on fire department response and system readiness—and it exceeded expectations. Richard and Heath delivered a highly professional, technically sound session that directly addressed the realities of fireground operations and code compliance.

Their depth of knowledge in alarm systems, suppression setups, and fire watch protocols was matched by their ability to connect those systems to tactical response needs. They didn’t just teach the specs—they explained how each component impacts first-in crews, incident command decisions, and post-incident accountability.

Heath's clarity and Richard's operational insight made the training both practical and mission-driven. If your department is serious about aligning fire protection systems with real-world response, Silco Columbus is a solid partner. Highly recommend.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! We’re glad to hear the Columbus training exceeded expectations and that Richard and Heath’s expertise made it both practical and impactful. We appreciate your recommendation
