Summit Fire Protection Acquired Premier Fire Protection

May 21, 2025

ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA – Summit Fire Protection Co., a subsidiary of SFP Holding, Inc. (Summit Companies), is pleased to announce the acquisition of Premier Fire Protection, Inc. effective May 21, 2025.

Founded in 1996, Premier Fire Protection is a veteran-owned small business known for its excellence in the design, maintenance, and installation of fire sprinkler systems. Guided by its motto, “Setting the Standard,” Premier has earned a strong reputation for quality, integrity, and customer commitment across every facet of its operations.

The company was founded and is led by Jim Knapp, a NICET Level IV-certified professional with 49 years of fire protection experience. Under his leadership, Premier has become known not only for technical excellence, but also for a steadfast commitment to safety and operational excellence. From 2008 to 2024, Premier was honored with Pinnacol Assurance’s prestigious Circle of Safety Award for outstanding performance in safety, claims management, loss control, and financial management.

“We’re thrilled to welcome the Premier Fire Protection team to Summit Fire Protection,” stated Mike McCrum, President at Summit Fire Protection. “Their long-standing reputation for integrity, quality craftsmanship, and customer-first service perfectly aligns with our core values. What impressed us most was the close-knit, family-oriented culture they’ve built, something we deeply respect and aim to preserve. As they join the Summit family, we’re excited to offer customers an even broader range of fire protection, life safety, and security services, backed by the strength of our statewide and national network.”

As part of Summit Fire Protection, the Premier team will continue to deliver inspection, testing, service, maintenance, and installation with the same professionalism and care customers have come to expect. Additionally, customers will now have access to expanded product and service offerings, including fire sprinklers, fire detection & alarms, alarm system monitoring, fire extinguishers, pre-engineered kitchen suppression, and special hazard systems supported by Summit’s statewide and national network.

“We’re proud to join Summit Fire Protection and look forward to this new chapter,” said Jim Knapp. “This partnership allows us to grow while continuing to provide the high-quality service our customers know and trust. We’re excited about the future — and confident that together, we’ll continue Setting the Standard in fire protection.”

The acquisition of Premier Fire Protection enhances Summit Fire Protection’s capabilities and service offerings, further strengthening its position to meet the growing fire protection needs of the region.
