Historic homes in the Belle Grove district
Fort Smith's Belle Grove Historic District and the older streets around Garrison Avenue have brick and frame homes with steep roofs, turrets, and tall chimneys. Those are exactly the high points lightning finds, and they call for careful air terminal placement and conductor routing along corners, trim, and downspouts so the system stays discreet. See residential lightning protection.
Plants, warehouses, and commercial buildings
Fort Smith is a manufacturing town, with plants, distribution warehouses, and trucking terminals across the south and east sides of the city. Big flat roofs with rooftop units and long runs of metal need a system laid out around the roof edges, parapets, and equipment. See commercial lightning protection.
Farms and acreage in the River Valley
Outside town toward Greenwood, Lavaca, and Charleston, families live on acreage with cattle barns, hay storage, shops, and poultry houses. We plan the house and outbuildings together so the grounding ties in. See farm lightning protection.
River Valley storms
Spring storms moving up the Arkansas River Valley bring lightning, hail, and strong wind. Hail can bend air terminals or knock them loose, so a check after a major storm or a new roof is a good idea.
