# Pye-Barker Fire & Safety

Alpharetta, Georgia. Fire alarm, sprinkler, suppression, and extinguisher companies bought across the country at a pace of dozens a year, the roll-up a fire-protection searcher meets as both rival bidder and exit.

## The Firm

Pye-Barker Fire & Safety calls itself the largest fully integrated, full-service fire protection, life safety, and security services provider in the United States. It is run from Alpharetta, Georgia and majority-owned by the private equity firm Leonard Green & Partners. Its work is the inspection, testing, and maintenance of fire alarm, sprinkler, suppression, and extinguisher systems, the recurring compliance revenue the fire-protection guide identifies as the value driver.

Its growth is acquisition at industrial scale. By its own count it completed 57 fire alarm, fire sprinkler, suppression, and security acquisitions in 2025 alone. Its own newsroom dates the additions one after another, with Fire Protection Specialists in Washington, ResponseTECH in Maryland, and Hartford Sprinkler in Connecticut among the 2026 run. The targets are established local fire-protection companies carrying a book of recurring inspection accounts, folded into Pye-Barker's national branch network. Its March 2026 recap of the year counts 9,000 team members across 47 states, with Hawaii and Arkansas entered during 2025, following a 2024 that had produced 57 acquisitions of its own.

For a fire-protection searcher the read is direct: in most US markets Pye-Barker is either the other bidder on an established alarm-and-sprinkler company or the eventual exit, and its offer arrives with national purchasing and back-office scale a first-time buyer cannot match. The counter is the one the guide teaches, that a dense book of recurring inspection contracts is exactly what makes a shop valuable to Pye-Barker, so a buyer who can hold and grow that book competes on the same asset.

## Confirmed Deals

Deals traced to announcements, newest first. Firms that announce every deal show a fuller run here than firms that report acquisitions as quarterly counts, so read this as the evidence that clears the bar rather than as the firm's whole record.
