Fire Sprinkler & Suppression
Fire doesn’t discriminate. Unchecked, it takes down any property, possession or person in its path. At Allied Fire Protection, our job is to stand in its way — detecting and stopping fire as fast as possible — to save priceless lives and valuable property. Fire may never be 100% preventable, but it is containable. When you entrust us with the irreplaceable, we accept our responsibility with a promise and commitment to protect you.
Fire Alarm & Detection
Allied Fire Protection doesn’t fight fire with fire. We fight with prevention, detection and active monitoring. Ever alert and ready to rapidly respond, our only job is to protect the people, facilities and physical assets that are truly priceless to you. Allied Fire Protection works to continually perfect the art and science of fire detection in order to immediately alert those on-premise, as well as the proper authorities, first responders and stakeholders.

Leading by example
Leadership Team
The founders and owners of Allied Fire Protection are very much a part of our daily operations. Our Operations Managers learned their craft in the field – installing, servicing and perfecting fire and life safety systems. They know the importance of supervising and seasoning every crew coming up after them. They pass along our culture and practices, whether it’s in our proven Apprenticeship program, on weekend hunting and fishing trips or at a company picnic. Decade after decade, our management team remains nothing short of All-In.

Our Story
The story of Allied Fire Protection didn’t begin in 1998, when Shannon Payne and John Hubbard founded the company in Shannon’s garage. Technically, the dream began when the two best friends were only 13 years old. By the time they turned 27, they were ready for the idea of starting their own business to become a reality. When Allied Fire Protection was born, John already had seven years of fire and life safety experience behind him, working his way from pipefitter to superintendent to estimator. Shannon, after graduating from college, brought his business background earned through various roles in corporate America. Combining their strengths and adhering to the values that still guide us today, Allied has grown steadily, with six offices across the state of Texas and over 250 employees.
Today, there’s no job Allied Fire Protection can’t handle, as evidenced by long-term partnerships with industry leaders.
Through growth and success, the corporate mission at Allied has never changed – make the communities where we operate better places to work and live and be the best fire and life safety company possible.
