Board of Directors
Firecom, Inc.
39-27 59th Street
Woodside, NY 11377

Dear Sirs:

          ALRM Acquisition Inc., an entity ("Purchaser") to be formed by Paul
Mendez, Carol Mendez, Orhan Sadik-Khan, Peter Barotz and members of their
families who are shareholders of Firecom, Inc. ("Firecom"), (the "Offering
Group"), proposes an acquisition of Firecom by merger of Purchaser into Firecom
(the "Merger" or the "Transaction").

          The terms of our proposal are as follows:

          Holders of Common Stock shall receive $0.70 in cash pursuant to the
Merger in exchange for each share of Common Stock not owned by the Offering
Group. Holders of existing vested employee stock options will be entitled to
receive the difference between the offered price and the exercise price (the
Offering Group reserves the right to offer continued participation in a modified
option plan to employees).

          Completion of the Merger would be conditioned upon the completion of a
mutually acceptable definitive merger agreement, approval of filings required by
any applicable regulatory agencies, favorable determination by the Board of
Directors of Firecom as to the fairness of the Merger to minority shareholders,
approval of the Transaction by the full Board of Directors of Firecom and by the
shareholders of Firecom (the Offering Group holds sufficient votes to approve
the Merger).

                                             /s/ Paul Mendez
                                        ---------------------------------------
