Pye-Barker Fire & Safety acquires Jersey Fire Protection, expanding presence in N.J.

Pye-Barker Fire & Safety, the largest fully integrated and full-service fire protection, life safety and security services provider in the United States, has acquired Jersey Fire Protection in West Deptford, a leading fire protection services provider serving New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland.

This acquisition further strengthens Pye-Barker’s comprehensive fire protection and life safety capabilities in the Mid-Atlantic region.

In December 2025, Pye-Barker acquired S.E.M. Security Systems of Ramsey, a security systems and fire alarm provider serving New Jersey and New York.

Jersey Fire Protection Corp specializes in fire sprinkler systems engineering, design, installation, inspection and maintenance. The company has built a strong reputation for delivering code-compliant fire protection systems across a diverse range of commercial, industrial, warehouse and storage facility projects throughout the region.

In addition to fire sprinkler and suppression systems, Jersey Fire provides comprehensive fire-protection services including fire alarm systems, fire extinguisher sales and inspections, and 24-hour emergency service.

“At Jersey Fire, we’ve built our business on trust,” said Peter Kappatos of Jersey Fire Protection Corp. “From the select business partnerships we maintain to the quality of craftsmanship we deliver, integrity has been our foundation.

“Joining Pye-Barker strengthens our ability to serve our customers with even greater resources and expertise while maintaining the personal service and commitment to excellence they’ve come to expect.”

“Jersey Fire Protection Corp has established an excellent reputation for quality fire protection services throughout the Mid-Atlantic region,” said Bart Proctor, CEO of Pye-Barker Fire & Safety.

“Their specialized expertise in fire sprinkler systems, combined with their commitment to customer service and code compliance, aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver the highest quality fire and life safety solutions. We’re excited to welcome their talented team to the Pye-Barker family.”

Jersey Fire Protection Corp’s local team will continue to serve customers throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland.

Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough, LLP represented Pye-Barker in the transaction.
