Building a Legacy: How Northwest Fire Systems Became a Leader in Fire Safety
At Northwest Fire Systems, we’re not just in the business of fire protection—we’re in the business of safeguarding lives, property, and peace of mind. That’s why we’re honored to be featured in The Blue Book Who’s Who, a respected industry publication that highlights outstanding companies making an impact in construction and related trades.
This feature shines a spotlight on our history, growth, and unwavering commitment to excellence in fire protection services. It’s a testament to the hard work of our team, the leadership of co-owners Clark and Mary Potter, and the trust our clients place in us every day.
A Journey Built on Expertise and Family Values
The Who’s Who article dives into the roots of Northwest Fire Systems, starting with Clark Potter’s early days in the industry. His journey began in Alaska, where he trained as an apprentice sprinkler fitter under the guidance of his father. With decades of experience, Clark and Mary eventually established Northwest Fire Systems in 2008, bringing their expertise and dedication to the Washington State corridor.
Today, Northwest Fire Systems is more than a company—it’s a family. Their two sons, son-in-law, and a growing team of 54 professionals carry forward the company’s mission to provide top-tier fire protection solutions. Their recent expansion into a larger warehouse space is just another sign of their ongoing growth and commitment to serving the region.
