Certified Fire is a full-service fire protection company with a widespread customer base and reputation for unparalleled customer service and industry knowledge. This is a direct result of Certified Fire's prioritization of employee education.

It boasts the largest DOT Certified Hydrostatic Testing facility north of Seattle, known for its innovative and environmentally-conscious design.

"I had many opportunities to sell my company but it was extremely important to protect my employees," said Steve Bounds, owner of Alpine Fire. "It was a pleasure to be able to turn this over to a company that has so much integrity and takes good care of the well trained and dedicated staff that has allowed me 39 years of success."

Pye-Barker is focused on growing its core markets while adding strategic new territories as opportunities arise. The Company's main focus is to acquire market-leading businesses with a solid historical financial performance to join its already impressive and expanding footprint.
