About Our Company
South Florida
Fire Protection
Advanced Fire & Safety has been protecting homes and businesses across southwest Florida for 16 years, and owner Brett Kirkby brings 40 years of hands-on experience to every account. Before founding the company, Brett spent 24 years as a FireMaster franchise owner serving Pinellas County, building a reputation for fast, reliable service that he carried forward when he opened the doors of Advanced Fire & Safety in May 2010.
During his time with FireMaster, Brett earned the trust of major national accounts, including Honeywell in Clearwater, Val Pak in Largo, the Home Shopping Network in St. Petersburg, GE Aviation in Clearwater, and the Hilton in St. Petersburg. That same standard of accountability is what every AFS customer can expect today, whether they run a single storefront or manage a multi-site operation.
Since its inception, Advanced Fire & Safety has grown into one of the region's most trusted fire protection providers, with an account base of more than 3,200 customers and counting. Businesses in Naples, Ft. Myers, Sarasota, Miami, and throughout southern Florida rely on AFS for fire extinguishers, emergency and exit lighting, first aid products, and the kind of dependable customer service that keeps them coming back year after year.

We live in RI. Just had Brett, from AFS, service a boat that we are buying in Cape Coral FL. He was not only very responsive, but also a great communicator and has given us a confident feeling as we look forward to a season of safe boating. Thanks Brett!...
