Fire Chief Equipment was founded in 1955 as a single-person company that serviced portable fire extinguishers. In 1970, Leo and Rob Ruch purchased the business casting a new vision of Fire Chief Equipment being a complete fire protection provider. Over the next decade, the company progressively developed the training, personnel and licensing to add fire alarms, sprinklers, extinguisher cabinets and other fire safety related products and services to its capabilities and offerings.
