From Humble Beginnings in a Texas Garage
In 1998, Shannon Payne and his best friend turned a shared dream into reality. With little more than grit, determination, and a garage in Texas, they set out to build a company rooted in integrity and driven by purpose. From those early days of long hours and big dreams, Allied Fire Protection was born. Their guiding values of safety, trust, and humility still drive all we do today.
Expanding Across the Country
Today, the Allied team includes over 650 skilled professionals across eight offices — six throughout Texas in Greater Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Dallas/Fort Worth, the Rio Grande Valley, and Laredo, as well as our newest locations in Tampa, Florida and Nashville, Tennessee. From complex builds to fast-paced schedules, we’ve delivered on projects of every size while building strong, lasting partnerships across the industry. Most importantly, we’re proud to have earned the trust of our satisfied customers.
While Texas remains our home base, our footprint continues to grow. Allied is licensed in 15 states: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah. Wherever we go, our mission stays the same: to make the communities we serve safer.
