Locally owned. Personally managed. Backed by certifications most companies can't match.
When you call Zgoda, you're not routed to a call center. You're not waiting three weeks for a technician from out of state. You're not assigned a different rep every time something needs attention.
You work directly with Christopher and his team. The same people who design your system are the ones who install it, inspect it, and pick up the phone when something goes wrong at 2 AM.
That matters in fire protection. When your fire alarm is malfunctioning and your building can't pass inspection, you don't need a ticket number. You need someone who knows your system, knows your building, and can respond fast.
And because Zgoda holds an Unlimited Classification Electrical Contractor License from the NC Board of Examiners, your fire alarm installations, inspections, and repairs are handled entirely in-house. No subcontracted electricians, no scheduling delays, no finger-pointing between trades. One team, one point of accountability, from start to finish.
Zgoda has served over 100 commercial clients across the Triangle, from restaurants and commercial kitchens to office buildings and industrial facilities. We're not trying to be the biggest fire protection company in the state. We're focused on being the most responsive, the most thorough, and the most qualified in the Triangle.
Zgoda Fire Protection was founded by Christopher Zgoda, a fire protection specialist whose career has been built on one thing: understanding how buildings, systems, and safety intersect.
Christopher's path to fire protection wasn't a shortcut. He started with a background in electrical engineering, then moved into kitchen exhaust cleaning and commercial kitchen safety, where he first learned the fire risk side of the equation from the inside out. From there, he transitioned into overhead crane inspections and rigging, working hands-on with complex industrial systems and deepening his expertise in safety compliance.
Along the way, Christopher became a recognized authority in kitchen exhaust cleaning, training others in the field and sharing the technical knowledge he'd built through years of hands-on experience.
Those experiences converged into a clear direction. In 2017, Christopher launched Zgoda Fire Protection in Raleigh, NC, to bring a level of technical expertise to the Triangle that most fire protection companies simply don't offer.
Today, he holds certifications across multiple fire protection disciplines and serves as President of the North Carolina Fire Marshals Association, a role that puts him at the center of fire safety standards and enforcement across the state.
● Heiser Logistics Certified, Kitchen Fire Suppression System Service, Maintenance, and Installation
● Heiser Logistics Certified, Paint Booth Fire Suppression
● Amerex Certified, Kitchen Fire Suppression
● President, North Carolina Fire Marshals Association
● NC Electrical Contractor License #U.39068, Unlimited Classification (NC Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors)
These aren't just credentials on paper. Every certification represents hands-on training, tested competency, and a commitment to staying current with evolving fire codes and safety standards.

When Christopher isn't designing fire suppression systems or inspecting fire alarms, he's behind the wheel of a Top Alcohol Funny Car on the NHRA circuit.
Zgoda Fire Protection proudly sponsors the race car, and if you know anything about funny cars, you know they demand the same things Christopher brings to every fire protection job: precision engineering, zero margin for error, and the ability to perform under pressure.
After a crash at the 2023 US Nationals that destroyed the car, Christopher rebuilt from the ground up and returned to competition in 2025. That's the same approach he takes with his clients: when something goes wrong, you fix it, you come back stronger, and you don't cut corners.
