Our History

Valley Fire Protection is one of the largest fire protection contractors in Chicagoland, with expanded services, strategic acquisitions, and a growing regional footprint. Valley Fire Protection traces its roots to the early 1970s, when Valley Automatic Sprinklers was founded in Elgin, Illinois, serving businesses across the Fox Valley.

The company joined the respected K & S Sprinklers group in 1978, strengthening its position in the fire protection industry. Through the 1980s and 1990s, Valley expanded and relocated within the Chicago suburbs to support continued growth.

In 2024, Valley Fire Protection became part of Viking Fire Protection Group (VFPG) which is powered by by APi Group – a multi-billion dollar company that has been a leader in the Life Safety industry since 1926. Being a part of the VFPG APi Group family gives us the resources of a large corporate company, but with the service and personal touch of a local company.
