E Fire

What E Fire does

E Fire Inc. is a private, full-service fire protection and electronic security contractor headquartered in Tupelo, Mississippi, with a regional office in Gulfport, Mississippi. Founded in 1983 by David Strange, the company serves commercial, industrial, and institutional customers across Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee under a "One Source, One Call" single-vendor model. Its service portfolio spans the design, installation, inspection, repair, and 24/7 monitoring of fire alarm systems, automatic sprinkler systems, fire extinguishers, and specialized fire suppression systems (including restaurant, clean-agent, industrial, and vehicle applications), as well as fire pumps and backflow preventers. The company has more recently extended into integrated electronic security offerings, including burglar alarms, CCTV video surveillance, access control, and healthcare nurse call systems.

E Fire generates revenue through a mix of one-time hardware sales and project-based installation work, recurring inspection, testing, and maintenance (ITM) contracts tied to NFPA and local code requirements, recurring fire alarm monitoring subscriptions, and transactional emergency service, recharge, and training revenue. Its technology stack is built on OEM partnerships rather than proprietary development, with core relationships including Ansul for restaurant and industrial suppression (25+ years), Siemens Cerberus Pro for fire detection, Honeywell for alarm peripherals, and Reliable and Viking for sprinkler system components; security product lines draw on Hikvision, Axis, and Speco for cameras, and HID Global, LenelS2, and Kantech for access control. The company markets to a long-tail customer base of regional SMBs and selective enterprise accounts, with named customers including Holiday Inn & Suites (Tupelo) and Buoy's (Saltillo).

Operationally, E Fire is a field-service organization whose value proposition rests on regional response density, certified technician labor, multi-decade OEM relationships, and the recurring revenue generated by code-mandated annual inspections. Distribution is concentrated in a three-state Mid-South service territory, supported by a recently launched client web portal, SEO-driven service-area landing pages, and a YouTube content series. The business has no disclosed funding, M&A, or headcount data, and is operated under its original founder.
