Hearst San Simeon State Historic Site, San Simeon California

Heritage Protection Group served as the fire protection consultants for the fire risk analysis and the selection and installation of smoke and fire detection equipment that was undertaken by the site electrical and restoration staff. System criteria included concealing all devices in a manner that they are not readily obvious to the visitor. HPG also evaluated the fire resistance of the historic doors and wall assemblies and identified methods to improve fire resistance without replacing these important features.
