LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ORR Protection Systems, Inc., a premier provider of mission-critical fire protection solutions, today announced the purchase of all of the business assets of Compass Fire Protection, LLC, based in the Seattle, Washington area.

"We are excited to join ORR Protection and bring our sprinkler capabilities to a broader national platform," said Aaron Frey, President of Compass Fire Protection. "Our teams share the same commitment to craftsmanship, safety, and customer service. Together we'll deliver greater value to clients who expect integrated, compliant, and on-time fire protection across their portfolios."
