Location: kingpins Beaverton I was unable to go home last night, came to kingpins looking for my friend to help me. One of your employees found me and threatened to call the cops, didn't believe anything I said constantly calling me a liar, and didn't offer any help when I told him what was wrong. I'll give you two stars instead of one because I don't think the actions of one employee not knowing what empathy is should impact the entire company, but I do want to make sure you see this.

Grant did an excellent install. Amber is efficient, responsive, and available. Love my new phone app that manages both our home and office. Wish I would've purchased a camera for the door bell for our home.

I really like the folks at First Response. They provide great service and I just upgraded both the office and home to digital and have dropped the analog phone lines. Grant handled the install. He was professional, timely and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them for your security needs.

Our company hired First Response for a hands-on fire extinguisher training for our 40 corporate employees. They brought flames & extinguishers, very cool (and informative). I recommend this to anyone who may have the need to use a fire extinguisher (so everyone!) because you don't know what it is like until you try it. We were thrilled to have them train us and we will have a better employee response in time of emergency because of the training. THANKS! Planning on this to be an annual training event.

We contacted First Response and spoke with Aaron after a fire department inspection of our property. We needed to replace all of our fire extinguishers and boxes. Within an hour, we had an email with the quote and were able to get it approved for delivery the following week! I could feel Aaron's desire to help via the email just in the way he kept me updated and seemed so upbeat and happy to ensure we had everything we needed in a timely manner. I have worked with Chip before during yearly extinguisher charges and he is just as friendly and helpful. Thank you!

We've worked with First Response for many years, now, and they have always done a great job for us! Nice people to talk with, very reasonable rates, and now they can take care of our fire extinguishers, too! We highly recommend these folks.
