FPI is comprised of multi-disciplinary professionals who develop proactive and comprehensive solutions designed to reduce risks that organizations are likely to face such as: fire, smoke; and attacks on physical, intellectual, financial and human assets; and terrorism and workplace violence. The Fire Protection International Consortium, Inc. (FPI) was founded in 2001 as a full service professional security and fire protection consulting and engineering firm. The two founding principals of the FPI worked for other fire protection consulting firms and felt that they had reached a level with their previous firms where they were acting as figureheads. Having a desire to be more directly involved in each project and to support our clients with a higher level of experience, The FPI was born. At the FPI we believe that our most senior engineers should work more directly with our clients. This involvement of the principals remains in effect to this day and is unique in the field.
