In 1946, Pye-Barker Supply Company spun off its welding supply division. Although fire extinguishers were part of the business, it wasn’t until the mid-seventies that an extinguisher servicing solution was offered. Having recently graduated from Georgia Tech, the owner’s son saw this as an opportunity. The extinguisher division grew rapidly and soon expanded into fire suppression systems. In 1986, Stan Lumsden purchased the fire system division from Pye-Barker and is still the present-day owner alongside his sons, Shawn and Josh. He has devoted his entire career to protecting many of Atlanta’s landmark buildings and facilities by providing a diverse array of superior fire protection services at every level.
