Academy Fire Life Safety

Academy Fire Life Safety offers national one-stop fire and life safety services through our network of self-perform districts and trusted vendor partners. Our experienced account managers ensure each of your sites across the country receive the same quality service for all your fire safety systems. We combine unmatched industry knowledge and scale with personal service and accountability. Founded in 1933, Academy Fire Life Safety started as a family-owned business providing fire protection services in New York and New Jersey. 60 years later, we identified a need for multi-location, regional and national organizations to efficiently manage their fire protection and life safety equipment. Through this transformation, we have become a trusted partner to many of the foremost brands in restaurant, retail, healthcare, assisted living, multi-family property, hospitality, property management, education, government, and industrial industries. In 2021, Academy Fire acquired BCI Technologies, a leading security and systems integrator. In 2012, Academy Fire was acquired by Caltius Equity Partners. This transaction provided the Company with the necessary resources to become a leading provider of national fire protection services for Fortune 100 and 500 companies through our unrivaled vendor network. Academy Fire's self-perform sister company, Impact Fire, can service many of our national customers in key regional markets*. Academy Fire and Impact Fire operate as subsidiaries of AI Fire. In 2017, Audax Group acquired AI Fire, with the objective to build an M&A capability and expand via acquisition. Since then, AI Fire has completed over 20 acquisitions. In the spring of 2021, AI Fire was acquired by TruArc (fka Snow Phipps) to support the continued growth of both its national and local district operations. With over 20 years serving national accounts, we are one of the most experienced national fire and life safety companies.
