Our Company Background
Columbia Fire was founded in 2005 as a local 699 union fire sprinkler testing/inspection and service/maintenance company in Seattle.
After 18 years, the company grew to 60 employees and approximately $20 million in annual revenue, and we are still growing. In 2021, the business was restructured with additional investors excited to see Columbia Fire expand both organically and through acquisition.
We’re building a robust infrastructure of sustainable processes to scale our services across a broader footprint, including Western Washington, Eastern Washington, and Northern Idaho. We continue to expand offerings like alarm monitoring, inspection/testing, and clean agent fire suppression systems.
From Seattle to Spokane, and Coeur d'Alene to Saint Maries, Columbia Fire is proud to be your trusted fire protection partner.
Certifications & Compliance
At Columbia Fire, we don’t just follow the rules, we help define them.
We are proudly ETL Listed by Intertek (Certification ID 106311173ATL-0001C), qualifying us to deliver Central Station Service in cities such as Redmond and Puyallup, which require certified monitoring.
This certification demonstrates our strict adherence to NFPA 72 and positions us as one of the few ETL-listed fire alarm companies in Washington. Each monitored facility receives its own certificate and is supported by annual audits and renewal inspections.
Whether your property requires Remote Supervising Station monitoring or full Central Station Service with runner response, Columbia Fire has the certification, systems, and team to keep you protected—and compliant.
