Approved Fire Prevention was the entrepreneurial vision of Michael Ribando, a steamfitter with two decades of experience in installation, inspection and maintenance of fire sprinkler systems. As the importance of inspection and testing of fire sprinkler systems in New York City grew in the late 1990s, Michael saw an opportunity to differentiate from the larger contractors focused mainly on major system installations. With a contract to provide inspections at 15 locations for a big box retailer and a handful of private customers, Michael began Approved Fire Prevention. Realizing that 24-hour emergency service was critical for his customers and for his business, Michael's original emergency service line was his home phone number.
As Approved Fire's customer base grew, so did the services its customers were demanding. Still based in inspections, the company grew to provide a full range of maintenance and repair services, developing relationships with local and national suppliers to provide an affordable solution for customers. Additionally, Approved Fire's customers were increasingly in need of customized solutions and consulting. With the addition of a system designer and consultant the company grew to provide a full range of services.
Today, Approved Fire is comprised of approximately 30 employees in addition to outside consultants and affiliates. Employees include service technicians, inspectors and a full time and knowledgeable office staff. Technicians are fully trained fire sprinkler mechanics who are knowledgeable in local and national code, pipefitting, fire sprinkler and fire pump inspection, testing and maintenance. Inspectors are the eyes in the field who often catch system problems before they become critical, providing monthly, quarterly and annual inspections.
