Fire Protection

What Fire Protection does

Fire Protection Inc. is a privately held, Ohio-based specialty contractor founded in 1989 and headquartered at 2480 Bartlett Rd., Mantua, OH. The firm designs, installs, and services commercial fire suppression systems — including wet, dry, and glycol sprinkler systems, fire pumps, hydrants, underground mains, alarm panels, and backflow prevention — for commercial, industrial, manufacturing, education, and healthcare customers across Ohio. The company holds State of Ohio certifications for Sprinkler Standpipes, Fire Service Mains, and Fire Pumps, and operates under NFPA 13, NFPA 20, and NFPA 24 guidelines, with licensed technicians performing inspections, maintenance, and 24-hour emergency service.

The underlying technology is primarily mechanical and code-driven: physical piping systems, sprinkler heads, and alarm panels installed to NFPA specifications, with a differentiated technical capability in Aquatherm piping and butt fusion welding for main water branch lines and underground main installations. The firm relies on longstanding supplier and manufacturer partnerships for component quality and pricing, and its workforce averages 12+ years of tenure, providing institutional knowledge on code-compliant execution. A documented marquee project is The Edge at Cleveland State University, an 11-story premium student housing development completed during 2015-2017.

Fire Protection Inc. generates revenue through two primary streams: project-based professional services (custom design, installation, repair, inspection, and maintenance) and hardware sales of fire protection components (sprinkler heads, fire mains, alarm panels, fire stopping mechanisms). Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed tiers; each engagement is scoped via on-site assessment by project managers. The go-to-motion is enterprise field sales — direct B2B relationships with commercial clients and design professionals in Ohio — supported by a website, organic search, and a customer referral/survey program. The company has 11-50 employees, no disclosed revenue, no outside funding, and no parent company, and it serves only the Northeast Ohio regional market.
