Piper Fire Protection

The FFEDA 2026 Annual Conference is in the books! Our team enjoyed their time at the Mission Resort + Club attending the tradeshow and obtaining their annual CEU's along with other fire protection professionals. What a great looking bunch!

We took some to recognize some absolute Customer Service rockstars in our midst 🤩

Sarah Rosello (admin, SRQ inspections), Red Phillips (SRQ Sprinklers) and Rick Flanders (CLW Alarm Construction) were nominated by their coworkers on doing a stand-up job serving our customers! Thank you for your hard work and all you do to represent Piper Fire and Fortis so well!

Ringing in the new year with gratitude. Here’s to continued progress and success!

To the Piper Fire Protection team and everyone who supports our work, thank you for an incredible year.

We hope you enjoy your holidays!

Each year, our team comes together to support a local organization through our annual Piper Gives Back fundraiser, and for the third year, we were honored to partner with Operation PAR, Inc..

Operation PAR’s residential program allows parents undergoing substance abuse treatment to remain with their children, keeping families together during one of the most critical seasons of their lives.

This year, our team adopted 10 children through Operation PAR’s Angel Tree program.

Thanks to employee donations, we were able to provide toys, learning materials, diapers, wipes, and other essentials to support these families during the holidays.

We grateful for organizations like Operation PAR that are doing life-changing work in our communities.

🎉🎉FIRST PLACE!

This year, Piper Fire decorated and donated a tree to the Arc of Tampa Bay's annual Festival of Trees. Our very own Alicia took the reins and decorated a beautiful tree called "The Bird House". Not only did our tree win First Place, it was purchased by Ruth Eckerd Hall and will be displayed there this holiday season!

We are proud to support this event, as the Arc of Tampa Bay has been a customer of ours for over 20 years. Participating in this event has been a long-standing goal.

Thank you, Alicia for your hard work on this beautiful tree - we are so happy to see you get recognition for your creativity!!
