National Fire & Safety

What National Fire & Safety does

National Fire & Safety (NFS) is a US-based, private-equity-backed fire protection and life safety services provider operating across the Mountain West, Southwest, and Texas regions. The company delivers an end-to-end service portfolio including fire alarm system design and installation, sprinkler and suppression system installation, fire alarm monitoring, scheduled inspections against NFPA 25 and NFPA 72 standards, and 24/7 emergency maintenance and repair. Five regional offices (Denver, Millcreek UT, Dallas, Waco, and Mesa AZ) support field-service delivery across five states, with revenue generated through a mix of one-time installation projects, recurring inspection contracts, subscription-based 24/7 monitoring, and a Healthcare Preferred Partner Program that locks in rates and priority scheduling for hospital and clinical customers.

The company serves seven primary enterprise verticals: airports and aviation, commercial real estate and property management groups, energy and power plants, government and municipal, healthcare, higher education campuses, and hospitality. Its technology stack integrates fire alarm control panels, initiating and notification devices, backflow preventers, fire pumps, and multi-pathway monitoring communication (cellular, POTS, AES radio, Honeywell CLSS cloud). Customer-facing technology includes a digital records portal for compliance documentation and state-specific online payment portals. The go-to-market is sales-led and field-driven, with direct enterprise engagement via regional offices, inside sales through a toll-free number, and inbound quote requests from the website.

NFS is backed by Highview Capital and has executed a roll-up acquisition strategy, completing at least four acquisitions since 2019 (Elite FPS, RCI Systems, All Pro Fire Protection, and Texas Fire Alarm) to expand geographic reach and service capabilities. The company markets itself on seven decades of operational experience, NFPA and AHJ regulatory expertise, 24/7 emergency responsiveness, and code-compliant inspection documentation. Revenue mix combines professional services (inspection, installation, repair) with subscription recurring streams (monitoring contracts and the Healthcare Preferred Partner Program), and pricing is quote-based with CPI-linked annual escalators capped at 5%.
