From Humble Beginnings to Regional Leader

Patriot Fire Protection, Inc. was established in 1990 by second generation fire sprinkler professionals who believed there was an opportunity in the Pacific Northwest for a locally managed, customer-responsive, family-owned entrepreneurial company.

During those first years, Patriot operated out of its Tacoma office serving customers in the Seattle/Tacoma construction markets. It wasn’t long before the needs in Spokane and Vancouver/Portland became apparent, and we opened offices to support growth more comprehensively in the Northwest.

In 2003 we were selected to design and install fire sprinklers in the U.S. Department of Energy’s nuclear waste treatment facility under construction on the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in eastern Washington. This multi-decade and complex federal construction project was the largest of its kind in the world.

In 2008, Patriot partnered with local developers in the construction of the new Amazon campus and much of the tech-giant expansion of the mid-2000s, much of which continues today. This growth led to a deeper commitment to innovation and a strategic expansion of our services. We launched a thriving after-market division providing comprehensive inspection, testing, maintenance, and special project support for existing sprinkler systems. Building on this success, we expanded into fire alarm systems, where we continue to enhance our expertise in installing, monitoring, and inspecting these vital life-safety solutions.

Today, over 300 dedicated employees across our 3 locations continue to successfully meet customer demands for new technology, knowledge partnership, and outstanding on-time performance. Patriot Fire Protection maintains a commitment to be that locally-owned family business where the customer comes first and expectations are exceeded, not just met.
