Why Global Fire Control?

Our company’s CEO, Jeff Oppenheimer, traces his roots to his great-grandfather Fred Harrington who started Harrington Signal in 1928. Jeff started Global Fire Control in 2004 to bring his own approach to customer service to the industry.

While GFC focuses on a core blend of high quality fire alarm and related products we have extensive experience with nearly every fire alarm product installed - including many no longer manufactured.

We are centrally located in East Moline Illinois with strengths being independently owned and operated, quality innovative products, employees with good/hard work ethics, and delivery of orders in a timely manner. Our systems are for all types of low voltage fire alarm contractors serving a wide range of projects in the new construction and/or retrofit business sector.

GFC maintains licenses throughout the Midwest but we often range outside our typical hunting grounds on request. We can supply products to partner companies, provide complete design services, and even provide on-site consultation as required. In this way, we can be a preferred provider for you on a national level. Should extensive work be needed in a particular area, GFC can, and will, obtain the necessary licensing in order to serve you better.

Please consider us your full-featured consultant for all your electronics needs. We will be happy to review plans or specifications, provide phone consultations as needed, and we are available for on-site visits as well. We are certain that with our combination of customer service, product pricing, engineering expertise, and product reliability, we will quickly become your preferred source for electronic systems.
