Fire Ranger, a leading South Florida distributor for Sea-Fire Marine fire detection and suppression systems, has been acquired by Summit Fire & Security. The strategic move positions Fire Ranger as a division of Summit, with new resources and infrastructure to expand marine business nationally, including applications for Sea-Fire products in unrepresented market segments. Summit will in turn concentrate on land-based systems. Ernie Ellis, Sea-Fire president, made the announcement.
“Throughout their regional market, Fire Ranger is a well-known brand and a top distributor of Sea-Fire products,” said Ellis. “This transition over to Summit Fire & Security will provide transformative opportunities for them to grow beyond South Florida and is a promising development for Sea-Fire.”
