Fire Equipment Inc. (FEI), New England’s leading full-service fire protection provider, is pleased to announce it has been named to the Boston Business Journal’s 2026 Fast 50 list, ranking #39 among the fastest-growing private companies in Massachusetts.

Founded in 1928, FEI is a third-generation, family-owned and operated company with eight locations throughout New England. As the region’s largest privately owned full-service fire protection provider, FEI designs, installs, services, and repairs fire alarm systems, fire sprinkler systems, kitchen suppression systems, clean agent systems, fire extinguishers, alarm monitoring, and more.

FEI’s growth reflects a deliberate approach that stands apart in an increasingly consolidated industry. Each branch operates with local decision-making authority and is staffed by dedicated technicians and support teams who understand the specific needs and expectations of the customers they serve, ensuring prompt, dependable service and clear communication.

“Our growth is a direct result of staying true to who we are,” said Brian Murphy, President of Fire Equipment Inc. “We’ve built a company that delivers the full-service capabilities customers need while keeping service personal, responsive, reliable, and focused on quality work. Customers work directly with local FEI teams in their region, people they know and trust, who understand their facilities, priorities, code requirements, and are readily available when needed most.”
