Encore Fire Protection is a full-service, industry-leading fire protection company serving a wide footprint from Maine to Louisiana. We support over 50,000 customers with the help of 2,000+ team members who are passionate about protecting people and property.

Our mission is more than a statement—it’s a commitment to delivering an unmatched experience to those who trust us with their safety. Through innovative solutions in fire suppression, sprinkler systems, and alarm systems, we strive to provide the highest level of protection for our customers.

But that’s just the beginning. What really sets Encore apart is simple: it’s our people. This isn’t just a slogan or something we slapped on a t-shirt (okay, we did that too). It’s a core belief—exceptional people build exceptional companies.

As part of our mission to be the best fire protection company the industry has ever seen, we recently joined forces with Fireline Corporation, headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. This partnership expands our reach and gives us the opportunity to collaborate with top-tier talent and industry leaders who share our high standards for safety and service.

Whether it’s a small job or a complex project, our customers should feel the care, passion, and expertise of a team that’s as committed to safety as it is to service.
