Fire Chief Equipment was founded in 1955 as a single-person company that serviced portable fire extinguishers. In 1970, Leo and Rob Ruch purchased the business casting a new vision of Fire Chief Equipment being a complete fire protection provider. Over the next decade, the company progressively developed the training, personnel and licensing to add fire alarms, sprinklers, extinguisher cabinets and other fire safety related products and services to its capabilities and offerings.

Last year, Fire Chief Equipment generated revenues of over six million dollars and has been experiencing double digit increases for the past several years. Fire Chief Equipment is committed to delivering integrated fire protection solutions that ensure the protection and security of our customer's worldwide commercial and industrial operations, the people inside these operations and their facilities. Globally headquartered in Redmond, Washington, Fire Chief Equipment does work for its clients around the world.

Fire Chief Equipment's target market and standards of excellence from the hiring and training of our personnel to the constant fine tuning of our delivery model make us unique and desired in this industry. We service the nation's finest organizations and as a result are seen as a partner in their success and a defined consulting resource.

Our entire business motivation stems from a real commitment to protecting life and property rather than simply selling fire protection equipment and services. Fire Chief Equipment has chosen to be an organization of specialists in an industry of generalists by selecting a prestigious target market to be successful in. We are sensitive to the fact that the person responsible for selecting the organization's fire protection provider has a real personal stake in its performance. Your position, prestige and salary are all dependent on system reliability therefore we will take every possible step we can to ensure you and your company are not at risk. Our job will be well done only when you have real peace of mind.
