109M Revenue

Annual Revenue

Eagle Fire generates an estimated $109 million annually through its services and projects.

It began by inspecting and maintaining water-based fire systems.
In the early ’90s, it expanded into special hazard suppression and fire alarm/detection installations.
Today, it engineers, installs, inspects, tests, services, and manages fire-protection and life-safety systems coast-to-coast.
Its skilled projects span hospitals, data centers, power plants (including nuclear), chemical facilities, college dorms, and mercantile sites.
Operating across Virginia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama, with national reach, it balances local responsiveness with broad coverage.
Specialisms include water-based sprinkler systems, special hazard systems, alarm/detection networks, and both portable and fixed fire extinguishers.
Uncommonly, the firm pairs deep field technician training (NICET, AFSA apprenticeships) with full systems-management programs.
Its growth from a regional sprinkler inspector to a major provider of integrated life-safety solutions reflects strategic expansion and technical depth.
