Pye-Barker Fire & Safety Expands Its Footprint in Kentucky

Pye-Barker Fire & Safety, the largest comprehensive provider of fire protection and security services in the U.S., has made a significant move to strengthen its presence in Kentucky. They recently announced the acquisition of Modern Systems, a reputable alarm and security service company that has served the state for over 45 years.

This strategic acquisition is set to enhance Pye-Barker's ability to provide full-service life safety solutions. By integrating Modern Systems' advanced capabilities, Pye-Barker aims to further ensure compliance with fire codes and improve safety standards in various communities across Kentucky.

Modern Systems, founded in 1979 by David Morris, specializes in customizable and scalable security solutions tailored to meet the needs of businesses and residents alike. Their extensive offerings include cutting-edge fire alarms, intrusion detection systems, sophisticated video surveillance, and license plate identification systems that are integrated with AI technology. They also provide 24/7 monitoring services to ensure that safety is always a priority for their clients.

With the merger, Pye-Barker Fire & Safety will leverage Modern Systems' innovative approach, characterized by a focus on forward-thinking technologies and community-centric service.
