FFF Protection serves the Greater Boise market from our office in Nampa, Idaho. We install, inspect, service, and repair fire sprinkler systems, fire alarm systems, suppression systems, and portable fire extinguishers.

FFF Protection is a trade name of Valley Fire Control, LLC, part of Columbia Safety Services — a multi-state regional fire protection group operating across Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. We respect the trades, run a disciplined operation, and care about doing the work right.

Our core values guide how we operate:
Customer First, Grit, Effective Communication, Own the Outcome, Take Pride in the Work, and Do the Right Thing.

A lot of contractors will bid new construction all day and quietly decline the hard repair work. Replacing an underground fire main. Pulling and setting a fire pump. Repiping a frozen preaction system inside a customer’s working freezer in the middle of winter.

We take that work, and our customers call us because of it. It is profitable, it is interesting, and it demands a fitter who has genuinely been around the trade — not a helper who can follow a drawing.

We need another one of those fitters.

This is not a new construction seat. This is large-scale repair and replacement work on existing systems in occupied, operating buildings. The drawing rarely matches what you find. You will spend time in trenches, in mechanical rooms, on lifts, and in cold storage.

Typical work includes underground fire main replacement, fire pump removal and replacement, and repiping frozen or failed preaction and dry systems inside customers’ freezers and coolers, where temperatures run from roughly
-20°F to 40°F.

If that reads as a good day to you, keep going. If it reads as a bad one, we would rather you know now.
