ATLANTA, Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pye-Barker Fire & Safety – the largest fully integrated and full-service fire protection, life safety and security services provider in the United States – has acquired MS Fire Protection, an end-to-end fire sprinkler services company for commercial and industrial customers. Based in Fresno, California, MS Fire Protection provides a valuable launch point for Pye-Barker's fire sprinkler operations in the Central Valley region, where Pye-Barker already services customers with 24/7 fire and security alarm monitoring and detection.
Founded by Richard Sever, Sr., and now owned by his sons Richard and Noah, MS Fire Protection joins an organization, Pye-Barker, with a rich history of supporting family legacies. The MS Fire team complements Pye-Barker's established California locations with its deep expertise in fire sprinkler installation, design, inspection, testing and maintenance services.
"Our father founded MS Fire in 1992 with a commitment to quality for our customers and pride in the important work we do to keep customers safe," said Richard Sever, Jr., MS Fire Protection President and Co-Owner. "He taught us to always do the right thing, and Pye-Barker holds those same values. We're proud to continue the MS Fire legacy as part of Pye-Barker."
"With more than 30 years and 6,000 completed projects, MS Fire's experience in high-quality sprinkler service complements Pye-Barker's alarm and suppression offerings in central California and opens new avenues to protect our communities with full fire code compliance," said Bart Proctor, CEO at Pye-Barker. "The addition of the Sever family is a natural fit for Pye-Barker, where we are committed to a culture of respect, integrity and doing what's right by our people and customers."
The highly skilled team at MS Fire will continue to serve customers locally in California.
Pye-Barker was represented by Nelson Mullins Riley and Scarborough LLP, and MS Fire was represented by Barry Epstein, President at Vertex Capital, in this transaction.
