Atlantis Fire Protection Expands Growth Through Acquisition of Palmetto Fire Services

In a strategic business move aimed at enhancing their growth trajectory, Atlantis Fire Protection has announced the acquisition of Palmetto Fire Services, a prominent fire alarm service provider located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. This acquisition marks a significant milestone for Atlantis, signaling their commitment to expanding their portfolio with high-quality service providers in the fire protection industry.

Founded 17 years ago by Paul and Sara Brown, Palmetto Fire Services has built a solid reputation for delivering premium fire alarm systems and services within Myrtle Beach and the surrounding areas. The company has become synonymous with reliability and high customer satisfaction, making it a perfect fit for the Atlantis Fire Protection platform, which aims to integrate exceptional companies in the fire protection sector.

As part of the acquisition agreement, Paul Brown will continue to lead Palmetto Fire Services under the Atlantis Fire umbrella, maintaining its brand identity while benefiting from the additional resources and support that come with being part of a larger organization. This kind of partnership allows for growth without losing the unique identity and service quality that Palmetto Fire has cultivated over the years.

Patrick Lynch, the co-founder and CEO of Atlantis Fire Protection, expressed his enthusiasm about the acquisition. He noted that this is the fifth acquisition the company has made, and he believes that Palmetto Fire Services will complement their existing family of companies. “The expertise and strong operational foundation that Paul and Sara Brown have established is truly impressive,” he stated. Lynch further elaborated on the vision of synergy among the portfolio companies. He highlighted opportunities for cross-collaboration and investment that could accelerate growth and enhance market presence across all member companies of the Atlantis network.

Paul Brown shared his thoughts on joining forces with Atlantis Fire. He admitted that he was not actively seeking to merge with a bigger fire protection platform but was persuaded by Atlantis's overarching vision and operational support. “We built Palmetto into a trusted entity, and now we have an opportunity to elevate that reliability further within a broader framework,” he noted. Paul looks forward to the collaborative growth possibilities involving other prominent leaders within Atlantis, such as Stella Black from Keller’s and Tony Thomas from Allied Fire.

Atlantis Fire Protection has its headquarters in Dallas, Texas, and operates across various locations, including Wilmington and Charlotte, North Carolina, as well as Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The inclusion of Palmetto Fire Services further strengthens their operational capacity in the southeastern United States, allowing for expanded service delivery across a wider area.

This acquisition is not just a growth maneuver but also a strategic initiative to fortify their market position as a leading provider of fire protection services. Through acquisitions like Palmetto Fire, Atlantis Fire Protection is assembling a portfolio filled with talented owner-operators and successful legacy companies, setting the stage for a promising future in the fire protection industry.
