Star Fire Sprinklers

What Star Fire Sprinklers does

Star Fire Sprinklers, Inc. is a family-owned commercial fire protection services contractor headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, with a regional office in Bessemer, Alabama. The company was founded by Starlene Tittle under the guidance of her father, Ralph J. Hamm, a recognized leader in the fire protection field, and the firm claims over 60 years of combined fire protection experience across its team. Star Fire Sprinklers operates across five Southeastern states — Florida, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, and South Carolina — serving General Contractors, Architects, Engineers, and Commercial Property Owners.

The company's core offerings cover the full project lifecycle for commercial fire sprinkler systems: engineering and design (including hydraulic calculations, preliminary drawings, fire pump room design, and FM-200/CO2 clean agent system design), in-house fabrication by 6G certified welders (grooving, threading, MIG welding, and custom assembly), installation of wet pipe, dry pipe, deluge, and pre-action systems, and recurring inspection, testing, and maintenance services for sprinklers, backflow preventers, fire hydrants, fire pumps, and emergency exit lighting. A small material sales line sells ABC and K-Class fire extinguishers and related signage, with walk-in retail availability at the Jacksonville location.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue for new construction and renovation, supplemented by recurring ITM contracts and a modest hardware sales stream. Sales are conducted via direct field B2B engagement with general contractors and design professionals; pricing is quote-based and project-specific. The company holds a Florida Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) certification, Women Business Enterprise (WBE) status, Level 3 certification, a 61-G fire protection license, and memberships in the National Fire Protection Association and National Association of Fire Equipment Distributors. The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no parent entity, and no subsidiary structure.
