Thompson Safety, a nationwide provider of fire protection, first aid, and safety services, has completed the acquisition of Liberty Fire Protection, a well‐established Houston company known for its fire alarm and sprinkler systems, backflow prevention, and kitchen hood suppression solutions.
This deal brings together Liberty’s deep local expertise and Thompson’s national scale, creating a single source for comprehensive fire safety and life‐safety services throughout the region.
Under this new arrangement, Houston customers will continue to receive the same trusted support they’ve come to expect from Liberty Fire Protection, now enhanced by Thompson Safety’s advanced technology platform. Routine inspections, system testing, and emergency repairs will be managed through a unified online portal, giving facility managers clear visibility into service history, upcoming maintenance, and compliance records.
Access to an expanded network of manufacturers and suppliers will ensure faster delivery of replacement parts and a wider selection of equipment options.
The integration process has been designed for minimal disruption. Liberty Fire Protection’s technicians and support staff will transition smoothly onto Thompson Safety’s scheduling and reporting systems, enabling teams to coordinate services more efficiently across Greater Houston. Businesses, schools, hospitals, and industrial facilities will benefit from streamlined workflows, transparent service programs, and proactive maintenance plans that reduce the risk of system failures and ensure compliance with the latest fire codes.
By combining Liberty’s established relationships in the Houston market with Thompson’s resources for training, research, and innovation, the acquisition will introduce new capabilities in areas such as emergency lighting testing, life‐safety signage, and advanced suppression technologies. Facility operators can expect quicker response times, more flexible service offerings, and ongoing access to best‐in‐class fire protection solutions.
