ORR Protection Systems, a provider of mission-critical fire protection solutions, purchased all of the business assets of Compass Fire Protection LLC, based in the Seattle, Washington area. The acquisition complements ORR's established alarm, detection, suppression, and monitoring portfolio and strengthens its presence in the Pacific Northwest. Compass Fire Protection’s union sprinkler capabilities in the Puget Sound area also present opportunities for ORR to service its West Region customers in new ways.

“Welcoming Compass Fire Protection into the ORR family is a strategic step that gives our customers a true turnkey solution—including sprinkler—from a single provider,” said Woodie Andrawos, CEO, ORR Protection. “Their fire alarm, special hazards, and sprinkler expertise, coupled with their culture of quality and safety, expands our reach in the Pacific Northwest and enhances our ability to deliver integrated fire protection solutions—design, installation, inspection, testing, maintenance, and 24/7 remote monitoring—under one roof.”

“We are excited to join ORR Protection and bring our sprinkler capabilities to a broader national platform,” said Aaron Frey, president of Compass Fire Protection. “Our teams share the same commitment to craftsmanship, safety, and customer service. Together, we’ll deliver greater value to clients who expect integrated, compliant, and on-time fire protection across their portfolios.”

The integration of Compass Fire into ORR Protection adds sprinkler capacity, expands regional field coverage, and deepens technical bench strength across project delivery and long-term service. The acquisition is effective immediately, and both organizations are focused on continuity for employees and clients.
