Owner Perspectives

"I was contacted by a trusted partner in the industry who said Fortis Fire was not like the other guys. The advice he gave me was, 'it doesn't hurt to talk' — and he was right. I built this company over 28 years, and they provided me with the financial security that I don't have to worry about money for the rest of my life."
Chris Johnson
"The decision to sell our business was one of the toughest decisions I have ever made. Over the years, we have been solicited by numerous companies and once we started conversations with Fortis, we knew our values, People-First philosophy, passion for training, and commitment to our community was aligned and would set us up for future growth. I am excited this partnership will provide career growth opportunities to our Piper family."
James Moyer
"We're building something that I never, ever fathomed that I'd be a part of. And I feel very privileged to be part of a team to help with this. My experience has been more than I expected. Joining Fortis has provided everyone with the ability to utilize talent and resources from other branches and team members. Having such a large support team has proven to be extremely valuable."
Justin Peterson
"IFSS saw Fortis as the best-aligned partner among a long line of capable strategics pursuing us. Fortis brings a culture and like-minded, customer-focused business model that we believe will lead to great success for IFSS. They also bring the capital needed to invest in our people and support the growth of IFSS and DSI — introducing better internal processes, greater opportunities for team member advancement, and succession planning and retirement paths."
The Fortis Difference
Fortis was built by people who understand what it takes to run a fire and life safety company — the technical depth, the customer relationships, the culture that takes years to earn.
When you join Fortis, you're not handing your company to a holding entity. You're connecting it to a national platform designed to make what you've built stronger, more sustainable, and better resourced for whatever comes next.
We don't compromise on craft. Fortis companies are staffed by field-tested technicians who hold the certifications, carry the experience, and bring the discipline that world-class fire and life safety work demands. The standard you've built your reputation on is the standard we operate by — across every branch, every market, every service call.
Your employees are not an afterthought in an acquisition — they are the reason it works. Fortis invests in the people who join our network: career progression, training, leadership development, and a culture that makes this industry a place people choose to stay. When you sell to Fortis, your team gains access to everything a premier national organization can offer — without losing the local identity that made them great.
We are building something together that no single company can build alone. Selling to Fortis means choosing your level of involvement, protecting your legacy, and positioning your people at the forefront of the next generation of fire and life safety. The process is transparent, the terms are built for owners, and the partnership is designed to last.

Fortis Family of Brands
Trust is built locally. It lives in the technician who knows your building, knows your local codes, and shows up when something goes wrong at midnight. It lives in the relationship between a fire protection company and the community it has served for decades.
But capability is built at scale. The training standards, the technical resources, the purchasing power, the shared knowledge of a unified national organization — these are the things that make a local provider exceptional rather than merely adequate.
Fortis was built on this belief.
Our network of regionally rooted fire and life safety companies delivers genuine local expertise in every market we serve — technicians who know the regional AHJs, the local codes, and the specific demands of the facilities in their community. Behind each of them stands the full weight of a premier national organization.
You build. You create. You push the world forward.
We protect it all.
