Company Description

IT STARTED WITH A COMMON MISSION - TO PROTECT PEOPLE

This mission is the reason why two organizations joined forces in 2021 to create Classic Fire & Life Safety - comprising the strength of all partners, united in one, clear mission.

In June 2021, Classic Fire Protection and FCFP began a journey to come together to create a new, stronger partnership with the intention of continuing to grow with and through new partners if and when the decision to do so would be beneficial to stakeholders - partners, employees and, most critically, customers.

Supported by our values and leadership team, forged by our shared history, we've become the contractor of choice for high quality, professionally installed, inspected and serviced fire and life safety systems and equipment - solutions that play an essential role to ensure the safety of both our clients' facilities and the people inside.
