Pye-Barker Fire & Safety adds Southland Fire & Safety Equipment

Pye-Barker Fire & Safety has acquired Southland Fire & Safety Equipment Inc., a Louisiana-based provider of fire suppression systems, inspections, and life safety services operating from 3 locations in Gonzales, Norco, and Port Allen.

Founded in 1972, the company serves industrial, commercial, and municipal customers across the state and is licensed by the Louisiana State Fire Marshal’s Office.

The acquisition deepens Pye-Barker’s Gulf Coast coverage and adds specialized capabilities including fire hose hydrotesting, firetruck repair, and air mask fit testing to its national platform.

Pye-Barker now operates more than 250 locations and employs approximately 9,000 people, pursuing an acquisition-driven strategy of partnering with established regional fire protection specialists.

The transaction follows the platform’s mid-July add-on of Connecticut-based Hartford Sprinkler.
